Well, howdy there, internet people, it spell again. So today, we're going to talk about

Trump and Iran exchanging words on social media. Economic demonstrations are sweeping Iran.

While they haven't reached the size or scope of those we saw in 2022, and they haven't become

nationwide events as of time of recording, they've gotten incredibly tense and have spilled over a number of times. The demonstrations have been held in several provinces, and multiple clashes with security services have occurred.

It seems the most intensity is in a relatively rural area, about 200 miles southwest of Tehran.

The current situation in the country seems to be slowly escalating, and it appears there

have already been at least seven lost, though it's hard to get

an accurate count, because the semi-official news service is giving one number. Sources more aligned

with the demonstrations are reporting higher numbers, and the official state-run news position

is that no violence has occurred,

or at least they aren't reporting on it yet.

In the wee hours of this morning, Trump posted to social media, quote,

If Iran shots and violently kills peaceful protesters, which is their custom,

the United States of America will come to their rescue.

We are locked and loaded and ready to go.

Thank you for your attention to this matter, President Donald J. Trump.

It seems as though the requirements Trump has established for U.S. intervention occurred before he

ever posted his comment. How exactly the U.S. would come to the rescue of demonstrators is anybody's

guess. But it seems unlikely any tangible assistance could be provided from the air alone.

This is Trump adding yet another potential conflict he seems prepared to insert U.S. forces into. The list of places Trump seems

willing to send U.S. forces is growing by the week. We have Venezuela, Nigeria, Gaza, and now Iran.

Iran's government quickly responded to the threat from Trump.
