Iran has issued a strong warning to the United States president following his statement that the country is 'locked and loaded' to intervene in response to deadly protests in Iran. The Iranian foreign ministry accused the US leader of escalating tensions and threatened a 'swift, decisive and comprehensive' response to any American action. Protests have erupted across Iran over economic grievances, leading to at least 10 deaths and over 130 arrests, with unrest spreading from Tehran to western provinces. Iranian officials and hardliner politicians have responded to the US president's remarks by declaring that American bases in the region could become legitimate targets if the US intervenes. The situation remains tense, with both governments exchanging threats amid ongoing demonstrations.
