The United States has shown its support for the people of Iran who are protesting against their government. The US ambassador to the United Nations, Mike Waltz, stated that President Donald Trump is ready to take action if needed to stop the violence. However, Trump has also mentioned that he believes the situation is calming down and there are no plans for large-scale executions at the moment. Waltz dismissed Iran's claims that the protests are part of a foreign plot to justify military action. He argued that the Iranian regime is weak and is using these claims to distract from the power of the protesters. The protests have been met with a harsh crackdown, with thousands reported killed.
The United Nations has also weighed in on the situation. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has called for restraint and urged all parties to avoid actions that could lead to further violence or regional escalation. This is a delicate situation, and the international community is watching closely. The US has made it clear that they stand with the Iranian people. However, they are also being cautious and monitoring the situation before taking any further action. The world is hoping for a peaceful resolution to the unrest in Iran.
