The protests of common people against inflation and unemployment in Iran have entered the 14th day. One by one, voices are being raised against the Khamenei government from every corner of the country. It has also been 60 hours since the internet blackout. Meanwhile, the political circle of Tehran is quite angry with America’s warning. The Speaker of Parliament has responded to US President Donald Trump’s warning with a threat.
Iran’s parliament speaker warned that if the US attacks the Islamic Republic, the US military and Israel will be the targets. Kalibaf made this threat when MPs in the Iranian Parliament ran towards the stage and raised anti-American slogans. Iranian state television broadcast the parliament session live.
Who is Kalibaf, who gave a befitting reply to Trump?
Kalibaf is a radical leader and has previously contested the presidential election. He praised the police and Iran’s paramilitary Revolutionary Guard for remaining steadfast during the demonstrations. He said, ‘The people of Iran should know that we will deal with them in the harshest manner and punish those arrested.’
Iran’s response to Trump’s threat
He directly threatened Israel by calling it an occupied territory. He said, ‘In the event of an attack on Iran, the occupied territory and all American military centers, bases and ships in the region will be our legitimate targets.’
According to The Times of Israel, Israel is on high alert in view of the possibility of US interference in the ongoing anti-government movement in Iran. At the same time, the duration of internet ban has also increased. Internet monitor NetBlocks says the nationwide internet shutdown in Iran has lasted more than 60 hours amid anti-government protests.
Movement turned violent: IRGC
According to IRGC-affiliated Tasnim News, the protests have turned extremely violent. Protesters broke into the judiciary complex in Mamasani County in Iran’s Fars province on Saturday night and set fire to a guard post.
County Public and Revolutionary Prosecutor Hassan Elahi said several rooms inside the courthouse were set on fire and the fire had spread from the ground floor to the first floor before security forces arrived and dispersed the crowd.
Trump threatened Iran!
US President Donald Trump threatened Khamenei and said that America is ready to help Iran. He posted on Truth Social on Sunday (January 11) saying, ‘Iran is probably looking towards independence and said that America is ready to help.’
