US Stands with Iran Protesters: Trump Keeps All Options Open

The US expresses solidarity with Iranian protesters amid severe crackdowns. US Ambassador Mike Waltz emphasizes that President Trump is considering all measures, while UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres calls for restraint. Trump remains cautious, indicating no immediate large-scale action is planned due to potentially fewer threats.

The United States has reiterated its support for the protesters in Iran, emphasizing its commitment to defending their bravery. In a recent U.N. Security Council meeting, U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, Mike Waltz, stressed that President Donald Trump is keeping all options on the table to end the violence in Iran, where reported crackdowns have led to the deaths of thousands.

Despite President Trump's past threats to intervene, recent developments suggest the President is adopting a more cautious stance. He indicated that based on current information, the situation in Iran might be stabilizing, thus negating the need for immediate large-scale interventions. Waltz dismissed Iran's claims that the protests are instigated by foreign entities, asserting that the Iranian regime is feeling vulnerable against its own citizens.

Meanwhile, United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has appealed for calm, urging all sides to avoid actions that could spark further violence or a broader regional conflict. Senior U.N. official Martha Pobee conveyed Guterres' call for maximum restraint to prevent any escalation.
