UPDATE: Iran has responded to Trump's comments on Truth Social...

Iranian National Security Council Secretary Ali Larijani:

Trump should understand that U.S. interference in this internal matter would destabilize the entire region and damage American interests.

The American public should know this escalation was started by Trump.

They should watch over their soldiers.


President Trump overnight threatened war with Iran if shootings of protesters continue in the country. The uprising is now in its sixth day as Iranians protest economic conditions. Security forces have killed close to ten people on the ground in fights against demonstrations.

The nationwide uprising in Iran against the religious dictatorship entered its sixth consecutive day on Friday, January 2, 2026. Sparked by a devastating economic collapse, with the national currency plummeting to historic lows against the dollar, the protests that began in the Grand Bazaar of Tehran have now engulfed the entire country. What started as an outcry against poverty and inflation has rapidly evolved into a revolution demanding the overthrow of the regime, reported the National Council of Resistance in Iran.

As the uprising persists, the clerical regime has resorted to lethal force. On the fifth day, Thursday, January 1, the protests saw an unprecedented expansion. From the strikes at Tehran’s wholesale markets to street clashes in Isfahan, Mashhad, Shiraz, Qom, and Kermanshah, the Iranian people confronted the regime’s suppressive apparatus directly. Security forces were forced to retreat in multiple locations as youth set fire to Basij bases and police vehicles. The crackdown was particularly bloody in Lordegan and Fuladshahr, where regime forces opened fire on civilians.
