A spokesman for Iran's armed forces has issued a stern warning to United States President Donald Trump, cautioning against any action targeting Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. This comes after Trump publicly called for an end to Khamenei's rule and criticized his leadership amid ongoing unrest in Iran. The warning follows a period of heightened tension between the two countries, sparked by a violent crackdown on protests over Iran's struggling economy, with thousands reported dead and tens of thousands arrested. Iranian authorities have acknowledged significant casualties for the first time, while concerns persist over potential executions and continued internet shutdowns in the country.
