Trump Threatens War Over Iran Protests Because He’s ‘Locked and Loaded’ on Truth Social
KEY POINTS
- •On December 31, 2025, Donald Trump warned of U.S. military intervention if Iranian protesters are violently suppressed.
- •Protests erupted in over 30 Iranian cities amid economic crisis; President Pezeshkian engaged traders to ease tensions.
- •Iranian leaders Larijani and Ghalibaf threatened U.S. troops and bases, accusing America of destabilizing the region.
On December 31, 2025, former president and Truth Social patriot Donald Trump declared the U.S. 'locked and loaded' to rescue Iranian protesters daring to defy decades of regime violence—because tweeting threats apparently equals national security now. The protests, sparked by economic misery in 30+ Iranian cities, face live fire, while President Masoud Pezeshkian awkwardly schedules meetings with disgruntled traders, probably hoping tea and discounts calm things down. Iranian Supreme Leader adviser Ali Larijani clapped back on X, accusing Trump and friends of geeky external meddling and threatening U.S. troops must-watch safety videos. Meanwhile, Speaker Ghalibaf coldly labeled U.S. bases “legitimate targets”—because who doesn’t love regional fireworks? Oh, and remember Trump's 2024 'regime change maybe' brouhaha? Yeah, he’s at it again.
