Trump Threatens Iran with 'Hell' Amid Escalating Anti-Government Protests

  • US President Donald Trump issued a stern warning to Iran, stating they would 'pay in hell' if they target anti-government protesters.
  • Protests in Iran have escalated due to a cost-of-living crisis and the collapse of the Iranian currency, with authorities cutting internet access.
  • Trump's remarks coincided with intensified rallies, and an NGO reported at least 45 protesters, including eight minors, have been killed.
  • The American leader previously warned of US intervention if Iran 'violently kills peaceful protesters'.
  • Exiled Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi's call for public demonstrations further fueled the protests, with chants supporting the Shah.

Why It Matters: Trump warns Iran of severe consequences if anti-government protesters are harmed, as rallies intensify.
