US State Department: Washington Supports the Brave People of Iran

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio expressed the United States' support for the people of Iran amid ongoing protests that have lasted for 14 days and the disruption of internet access. President Trump warned Iranian authorities of potential intervention, emphasizing that it would not be limited to ground troops but would strike "very, very hard". The protests continue in Tehran and other Iranian cities, despite the lack of internet access, with thousands of protesters taking to the streets. The situation remains tense and the international community is closely monitoring developments. The US support for the Iranian people comes at a critical time, as the protests escalate and the number of deaths rises. Trump's warning to Iran underscores the US determination to protect its interests in the region. The disruption of internet access by Iranian authorities aims to suppress the protests and prevent the spread of information. However, protesters are finding ways to communicate and organize through other platforms.
