The United States is repositioning military personnel across the Middle East, following warnings from Tehran about potential retaliatory strikes against American bases. In response to heightening tensions, U.S. officials have taken precautionary measures, reducing troop presence as Iran experiences its most severe domestic unrest in decades.

Despite signals indicating imminent action, President Trump conveyed a more measured approach while addressing the media, acknowledging a decline in violence against Iranian protesters. However, he refrained from ruling out military intervention, suggesting the situation is under close observation.

International concern grows as regional allies are pressured to deter U.S. attacks. Meanwhile, Iran accuses foreign entities of instigating chaos and affirms its readiness to counter any threats. The geopolitical landscape remains tenuous as diplomatic channels are strained and protests swell.
