The deputy governor of Qom province on Friday said that another person had died after a grenade exploded in his hand, in what the governor said was an attempt to incite unrest.<\/p>\n<p>In his post on Truth Social, Trump said\u00a0that if Iran \u201cviolently kills peaceful protesters, which is their custom, the United States of America will come to their rescue\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Ali Larijani, secretary of the Supreme National Security Council, shot back that US interference \u201cis equivalent to chaos across the entire region and the destruction of American interests\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Iran\u2019s economic woes, including a collapsing currency and high inflation rates, follow years of severe drought in Tehran, a city with a population of some 10 million people, compounding multiple ongoing crises.<\/p>\n<p>Iranian leaders have struck a surprisingly conciliatory tone in response, with President Masoud Pezeshkian saying the government is at \u201cfault\u201d for the situation and promising to find solutions. Observers have noted the response is markedly different from the harsh reaction to past protests in the country.<\/p>\n<p>The United States bombed three Iranian nuclear sites in June this year during a 12-day escalation between Israel and Iran. Trump described the operation as a \u201cvery successful attack\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Last week, during a news conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Trump said the US will \u201cknock the hell out\u201d of Iran if it advances its nuclear programme or ballistic weapons programme.<\/p>\n<p>The statement came amid an Israeli push to resume attacks on Iran.<\/p>\n<p>Pezeshkian has pledged a \u201csevere\u201d response to any aggression.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Letter to UN chief, UNSC comes after Trump says US will intervene if Tehran violently suppresses protests.
