On March 1, Iranians took to the streets to commemorate the death of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. In response to the escalating situation, U.S. President Donald Trump issued a warning regarding potential protests aimed at regime change in Iran.
During a statement on Tuesday, Trump advised those considering protests to exercise caution due to the risks associated with ongoing military operations conducted by Israel and the United States. He emphasized, “If you are planning to go out and protest – do not do it yet. It is very dangerous; a lot of bombs are being dropped right now.” This statement marks a shift from his earlier encouragement for the Iranian populace to seize the opportunity to challenge their government.
On March 3, Trump further commented on Iran’s willingness to engage in negotiations, stating that it is now “too late” for such discussions. As of Tuesday, the United States had reportedly targeted over 1,700 sites within Iran as part of a coordinated military operation with Israel. The ongoing conflict has resulted in the deaths of at least six American servicemen.
U.S. President Donald Trump has urged Iranians to postpone protests against their government due to the dangers posed by active military operations. This comes as the U.S. and Israel have targeted numerous sites in Iran, resulting in casualties among American forces.
