The US president commented again on the unrest in Iran and reiterated his threat: „If they kill protesters, we will take strong action against them.“ However, he clarified: „That does not mean we will deploy soldiers on the ground.“ In Israel, demonstrations are escalating, manifesting themselves in increasing violence. One indication of this is the Revolutionary Guard’s attempt to suppress the protests. Israel is closely monitoring the situation and is careful not to be drawn into a conflict – preferring to leave the leadership to the US.
