More than 10K detained amid growing government protests<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

(NewsNation<\/a>) \u2014 U.S forces are on high alert as protests erupt in Iran, as Tehran continues its crackdown on protesters<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The U.S.-based Human Rights Activists News Agency<\/a> reports at least 538 people have been killed and more than 10,000 detained in the violent demonstrations spreading from the capital city of Tehran across the Islamic Republic. Iranians are now on day three of an internet blackout, as leaders put the U.S. on notice, vowing to strike back against any American military action in defense of anti-government protesters. Iranian leadership now calling U.S. bases and Israel-held territory in the region \u201clegitimate targets.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

President Donald Trump has been watching the situation in Iran closely and is weighing U.S. involvement.\u00a0The New York Times<\/a>\u00a0reports that Trump has been briefed in recent days on a range of options for military strikes in Iran. While he has not made a decision, outlet reports that Trump \u201cwas seriously considering authorizing a strike.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Iran\u2019s parliament speaker on Sunday said if the U.S. does intervene, Tehran is poised to retaliate by targeting U.S. military bases and Israel. In a post on social media<\/a> Saturday, Trump wrote, \u201cIran is looking at FREEDOM, perhaps like never before. The USA stands ready to help.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The president didn\u2019t detail what he means by that, though on Friday, he seemed to be warning that the U.S. may take military action to protect Iranian protestors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf they start killing people like they have in the past, we will get involved. We\u2019ll be hitting them very hard where it hurts,\u201d Trump said. \u201cAnd that doesn\u2019t mean boots on the ground, but it means hitting them very, very hard where it hurts.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI just hope the protesters in Iran are going to be safe because that\u2019s a very dangerous place right now,\u201d Trump continued. \u201cAnd again, I tell the Iranian leaders, you better not start shooting because we\u2019ll start shooting too.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even with that threat, Iranian leaders are cracking down on protesters, cutting off internet and phone access. The country\u2019s attorney general says anyone protesting will be considered an \u2018enemy of god\u2019, which is a death penalty charge there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Iran\u2019s supreme leader also lashed out at President Trump in multiple posts, writing<\/a> on Sunday, \u201c the rioters have placed their hope\u201d in Trump, adding that \u201cif he\u2019s so capable, he should manage his own country.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
