Iran is in a tough spot right now. Big protests are happening all over the country. People are upset about money problems and how the government runs things. The government says the U. S. and Israel are behind these protests, but that's not clear. The Iranian government is not happy. They said if the U. S. attacks, they will hit back at Israel and U. S. bases. This is a big deal because it could make things worse. People are dying in these protests. A group that tracks human rights says 116 people have died, including protesters and police. The government is trying to stop the protests by cutting off the internet. This makes it hard for people to talk to each other or share what's happening. The U. S. and Israel are watching closely. The U. S. president has said he's ready to help, but it's not clear what that means. Israel is on high alert, but they're not saying much. The last time Iran and Israel fought, the U. S. got involved, and things got messy.
Inside Iran, the government is trying to scare people into stopping the protests. They're showing funerals of police officers on TV and saying protesters are terrorists. But people are still finding ways to protest, like banging on things at night. The U. S. thinks this is a waiting game. The protesters want to keep going until the government gives in. The government wants to scare people enough to stop protesting without giving the U. S. a reason to step in. Israel is worried about Iran's nuclear program, but they're not saying if they'll get involved in the protests. The Israeli prime minister said there would be big consequences if Iran attacks Israel. But for now, everyone is just watching and waiting.
