President Donald Trump is weighing the possibility of deploying US military forces to Iran amid ongoing violent protests. Demonstrators are calling for the downfall of the regime, while President Trump has threatened "the gravest consequences" if Iran's leaders continue to crack down on demonstrators.
The protests, which began after the government raised gasoline prices, have been marked by clashes between security forces and protesters. The violence has resulted in at least 20 deaths and hundreds of injuries.
Trump has stated that he is considering military action against Iran, despite warnings from lawmakers and experts that such a move could lead to catastrophic consequences. The US President's comments come as the international community urges restraint and dialogue between Iran and its Western counterparts.
Meanwhile, Iranian authorities are using force to quell the protests, with many protesters being arrested and beaten by security forces. The government has also blocked access to social media and restricted internet connectivity in an effort to suppress the demonstrations.
The situation remains volatile, with many fearing that the violence could escalate into all-out war between the US and Iran. As the world watches, Trump's decision on whether or not to deploy troops to Iran will have far-reaching implications for global security and stability.
