Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and United States Secretary of State Marco Rubio have reportedly discussed the possibility of United States military intervention in Iran, as Israel remains on high alert. The conversation comes amid widespread protests across Iran, which have persisted for two weeks, prompting the Iranian regime to impose severe internet restrictions in an effort to conceal alleged abuses by security forces. In response to the unrest and international attention, Iran's parliament speaker warned that both United States and Israeli forces would be considered legitimate targets if military action is taken against the country. President Donald Trump has voiced support for the protesters, suggesting that the United States is prepared to assist and warning of a strong response if the regime resorts to mass violence.
