The senior adviser to Iran's Supreme Leader, Ali Larijani, said on Friday that U.S. interference in Iranian protests would lead to chaos across the region. U.S. President Donald Trump had threatened that Washington is "locked and loaded" and would intervene if Iran used lethal force against peaceful demonstrators.
Iran's biggest protests in three years over economic hardship have turned violent across several provinces, with six people reported killed in preliminary reports.
Trump said on his Truth Social platform that "if Iran shoots and violently kills peaceful protesters, which is their custom, the United States of America will come to their rescue."
