BAKU, Azerbaijan, January 12. U.S. President
Donald Trump issued a warning, suggesting that Iran may be
approaching a 'red line' following recent acts of violence, and
indicated that the U.S. military is contemplating a robust
response, Trend
reports via the White House.
Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One, President Trump
characterized Iranian actions as violent, questioning the
legitimacy of the country's leadership and whether it governs
through force rather than legitimate authority.
'It appears they are nearing the red line, and there are reports
of casualties that should not have occurred,' Trump remarked,
further noting that U.S. military officials are closely monitoring
the situation.
He emphasized that the Pentagon is currently evaluating several
'strong options,' and stated that a decision on the U.S.'s course
of action will be made in response to the evolving
circumstances.
Amid the sharp depreciation of the Iranian currency against
foreign currencies, traders in Iran have been protesting since
December 29, demanding significant measures to stabilize the
currency and address the broader economic crisis.
