LIVE: Trump Threatens Iran After 7 Killed In Deadly Protests | Vantage with Palki Sharma

West Asia is on edge as Iran enters its sixth day of nationwide protests, sparked by a severe economic crisis and a collapsing currency, even as Donald Trump issues ominous warnings from Washington. Demonstrations that began over the rial’s plunge—now trading at nearly 1.42 million to the U.S. dollar—have spread from shopkeepers to students and ordinary citizens, with violent clashes, damaged buildings and at least seven reported deaths. Amid the unrest, Trump warned that the U.S. was “locked and loaded” if Iran used force against protesters, drawing a sharp response from Tehran. Notably, Iran’s moderate President Masoud Pezeshkian struck an unusually conciliatory tone, taking responsibility for the crisis and urging citizens not to blame foreign powers, saying the government must answer for the country’s economic failures. While public anger—fueled by high inflation, sanctions and resentment over spending on proxy conflicts—is real, the regime has survived similar upheavals before. However, with Iran militarily weakened, leadership uncertainty looming, and a controversial budget set to sharply raise taxes, the unrest raises fresh questions about whether the crisis will subside or escalate into a far more dangerous confrontation. Palki Sharma tells you more.
