Trump’s response to the threat of ‘all-out war’
On receiving the warning of ‘total war’ from Iran, Trump said, ‘If anything happens, we will wipe them off the world map.’ This statement has come at a time when Trump has already talked about change of regime in Iran.
Iran’s counterattack warning
Iran has also given an open warning to Trump. Iranian military spokesman General Abolfazl Shekherchi said Iran would retaliate if any action was taken against its supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. He said, ‘We will not just cut off their hands, but will burn their entire world.’
Trump’s comment on Khamenei
In another interview, Trump said about Iran’s supreme leader Khamenei that he is a ‘sick man’ and he should run his country properly and stop killing people.
Situation is very serious in Iran
There has been huge loss of life and property during the ongoing protests in Iran. According to an American human rights organization, at least 4,519 people have died so far and more than 26,300 people have been arrested.
Why did the demonstrations start?
Demonstrations in Iran started in the last week of December. The reason for this is being said to be rising inflation and falling value of Iranian currency. Thousands of people are taking to the streets to protest against the government and demanding change. At the same time, the Iranian government has blamed America and Israel for these demonstrations.
