Trump said the White House is willing to come to the rescue of Iranian protesters if more are killed.
At least seven people have been killed in protests sparked partly by the collapse of Iran’s currency.
The Secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council Ali Larijani posted on X in response to the President’s threats.
He said that U.S. interference would cause “disruption across the entire region and the destruction of American interests.”
“Trump should know that intervention by the U.S. in the domestic problem corresponds to chaos in the entire region and the destruction of the U.S. interests,” Larijani wrote. “The people of the U.S. should know that Trump began the adventurism. They should take care of their own soldiers.”
