Iran’s Foreign Minister Araqchi says US President Donald Trump’s warning against Tehran of military action if protests turned bloody motivated “terrorists” ?to target protesters and security forces to invite foreign intervention.
Trump has repeatedly threatened to intervene in Iran warning he has “very strong options” as the US military studies the situation while his administration is in contact with Iranian opposition leaders.
Iran’s government declares three days of national mourning for the “martyrs” killed in two weeks of protests, including members of security forces.
More than 100 security personnel have been killed in recent days, state media report, while opposition activists say the death toll is higher and includes hundreds of protesters. Al Jazeera cannot independently verify either figure.
