Iran protests
Last month, anti-government protests intensified in Iran, in which more than 6,000 people were killed in the crackdown by Iranian security forces. Following this, the US increased pressure on Iran. President Trump warned Iran of military action and ordered the deployment of an aircraft carrier strike group to the Middle East. Despite making strong statements, Trump has also made it clear that he wants a solution through dialogue. On the other hand, Iran has also said that it is ready for talks, but if attacked, it will respond with full force.
