The United States appears to be preparing to attack Iran over claims of violence against protesters, in a move that could spark a dangerous war in the Middle East.
The protests broke out in Iran on December 28 as a result of the worsening economic conditions, and turned violent on January 2 after President Donald Trump set a red line, vowing to punish Tehran if protesters are killed.
Trump renewed his threats on January 12, saying that Iran has begun to cross his red line, and that he has some “very strong” military options.
Trump was reportedly presented with options including strikes, in addition to others involving cyber operation options and psychological campaigns to disrupt Iranian command structures, communications and state-run media.
Despite Trump’s threats, large crowds of Iranians gathered in Tehran and other cities across the Islamic Republic to show support for the government.
The intensity of protests also decreased. Responding to this, Trump on January 13 told Iranian protesters that “help is on its way.”
On January 14, Iranian authorities held a mass funeral of 300 security personnel who were killed in the protests. Reports from Iranian monitoring groups revealed that the death toll from the protests has exceeded 2,000 people, including both protesters and security personnel.
Tehran reportedly told regional countries, from Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirate to Turkey, that U.S. bases on their territories will be attacked if the U.S. targets Iran.
In response to this threat, the U.S. began withdrawing troops from key bases in the region, including Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar.
Israel also began preparing for war, deploying additional air defense batteries, and opening bomb shelters in several areas.
Despite all of this escalation, Trump said later in the day that Washington had been informed that the killing of protesters in Iran has ceased and that the Islamic Republic will not be carrying out executions.
These remarks were mostly just an attempt to deceive Tehran. The decision to attack Iran was likely taken by the U.S. even before the protests. The main goals of any attack could include the Islamic Republic’s nuclear and missile programs. Tehran’s failure to respond appropriately could cause more internal unrest.

the us needs at least 1 aircraft carrier to attack iran. until then, any talk of an attack on iran is a nothing burger. meanwhile iran prepares to close the strait of hormuz.
for now if conventional war occurs. the carrier abraham linclon is on now the way
so may be china can make its move on taiwan. you know with the us bogged down in ukraine, venezuela, greenland and iran.
they aren’t bogged down anywhere . you see their navy regularly here and trumps keeping the army close too . he’s only allowing the air force to do quick operations. in and out .
as anyone with half a brain knows . so not likely to be well known amongst the sf crew of 2.

why would the joo media ignore the instructions of its joo owners?
unlike the jooz who have cornered the kiddie killing market.
americunt inferior to jew
no, it’s amerikunt heroes who limit themselves to bombing fishermen and kiddie killing, raping and torturing jooz who have cornered the market in murdering civilians. they prefer doing that to s*itting their pants when they have to face real men, getting their a*ses kicked by afghan goat herders and houthi tribesmen.
lick more hillbilly americunt peniz moron
an aircraft carrier would be an extremely large and convenient target for iranian missiles lol
iran wouldn’t be that stupid to try to attack that carrier . they know what would happen.
iran prepares to send in the shah and try not to lose face doing it .obvious as ramses big red ring
” 300 security personnel killed ”
that sounds like some intense conflict.
the mossad has agents in every nation on earth. it seeks to rule by any means and deception.
grow up ding a lingerie they can’t even stop you posting anti semitic propaganda all day every day for decades. give it a rest .
evidence mounting that israel and usa paid people to kill civilians attack police stations etc.
typical load of ramses rot .
dumb and dumber obvious can’t even stop sf pushing anti semitic propaganda .
haven’t you seen the footage over the last two weeks ?
i attack ugly monkey americunts in minnesota w tomahawk missiles
you are so funny.
no he’s just stupid.
you inferior americunts experts on stupidity mental illness
the zionist entity has no limits nor morality. it will destroy itself to control the world. many years ago when the roman army siege of mossad the zealots committed suicide. they will repeat. with nuclear now missiles available. i expect iran to be flattened. yes, they will !
you don’t. only a straight out liar would post the transparent crap you do imo allegedly
f trump f amerikunts and jooz they need to be made to suffer as they have made others suffer. the world will be a better place without all of them.
ramses rear ending the conversation as usual with his butthole plug diarrhoea. allegedly
inferior americunt species must be eliminated
“the protests broke out in iran on december 28 as a result of the worsening economic conditions,”
that line proves that southfront is part of western propaganda.
yes the protests have been going on t for decades but the protestors have been getting killed in prisons and or publicly hung like merry old england 🇬🇧.
trump made sure that didn’t continue , unlike any other president’s or king’s or moralistic influencer who just played innocent by standers without lifting a finger. and so the caring community all abuse him how dare he spoil their fun.
irans not uner the bank of england’s reserve banking systems
and just as none of them stopped california enabling the legalising of satanism 60 years ago .or blocked the un facilitating its globalisation about 18 months later .satan the great deceive, father of all lies , and the murderer . one day people might wake up .
vamos iran!
apparently israel panicking and have asked trump not to start a war with iran because israel lost so many high value mossad assets during the riots lol. iran been torturing the squealing little piggies to death
ramses hello in there anyone home?
are you dreaming ?
what will be trumpf fart this time? lmao “southfront”, “russians” based in langley, va!
cowardice is not an attractive or rewarding policy.
trumpy obviously cares about the iran “peaceful protestors”, just as he does about the hundreds of thousands of people slaughtered, starved and immiserated in the joo genocide in gaza.
seems to me we are in a world war right now. its just being fought differently. what i didn’t realise is that there are only 10 million people in iran, about the same as london. i imagine that, considering the size of the country, that a military invasion is quite doable. long term control would not be so easily achieved, but a limits ‘special operation’ that literally removed the nuclear propgram would be quite easy.
inferior stupified americunt scum–kill yourself now
americunts gear up to swallow more hebrew jizz
