Ирански Протести (Iranski Protesti)

Here’s a summary of the provided text: The ongoing protests in Iran, sparked by economic hardship and exacerbated by government suppression, are intensifying international tensions. The US, under President Trump, is escalating pressure through direct threats and, dramatically, by deploying forces to Venezuela to capture President Maduro. Simultaneously, Israel has offered support to Iranian protesters, fueling paranoia in Tehran. Iran, already grappling with a “triple crisis” – economic, political, and external pressure – views US intentions as “maximalist” and is preparing for potential conflict, leveraging its extensive network of proxy groups and advanced military capabilities. Iran’s leaders believe negotiations with the US are a tactic to ultimately overthrow the Islamic Republic, and are determined to resist any attempts at regime change. The situation is further complicated by the deep, long-standing alliance between Iran and Venezuela, built on shared anti-imperialist sentiment and significant economic cooperation, which now presents a potential strategic launching pad for US action.
