Iran Threatens US Military, Shipping if Attacked Amid Protests

• Iran's Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf stated that US military and shipping interests would be legitimate targets if the US launched a new attack.
• This threat comes amid ongoing protests in Iran and follows US President Donald Trump's offer to "help" Iranian protesters.
• Trump had previously warned Iran was in "big trouble" and hinted at potential military strikes.
• Widespread internet shutdowns and disrupted phone services in Iran make it difficult to assess the full extent of the protests.
• According to HRNA, at least 116 people, including 38 security personnel and 7 minors, have died in the protests, with 2,638 arrests across 185 cities in 31 provinces.
