Trump warns of US intervention if Iran uses force against protesters

Trump warns

Washington/Tehran: US President Donald Trump has warned that the United States would intervene if Iranian authorities use violence against peaceful protesters.

In a statement posted on his Truth Social account, President Trump said that if Iran attacks or kills peaceful demonstrators, the United States will step in to protect them. He added that the U.S. is fully prepared to act to safeguard protesters.

Reacting strongly to the warning, Ali Larijani, adviser to Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, said that any US interference in Iran’s internal protests would be equivalent to spreading chaos in the region. He stressed that President Trump should understand that American intervention would only fuel instability.

The remarks come amid violent protests in Iran against rising inflation and the sharp decline in the national currency. According to reports, clashes between Iranian security forces and protesters have resulted in six deaths, while 30 protesters have been arrested in recent days.

Tensions remain high as international attention grows over the unrest and the possibility of foreign involvement.

He criticized President Biden’s policies, asserting that illegal immigrants took jobs during the Biden era, while under his administration, all new jobs went to Americans.

Trump administration

US President Donald Trump has announced new travel restrictions on citizens of 20 additional countries, with the policy set to take effect from January 1.

Under the expanded measures, students, family members of US citizens, and holders of Afghan Special Immigrant Visas (SIVs) from the affected countries will also fall under the scope of the restrictions.

According to US media reports, the new ban includes travelers from Syria, South Sudan, Niger, Mali, and Burkina Faso, as well as individuals whose travel documents are issued by the Palestinian Authority.

Several countries will face partial travel restrictions, including Angola, Antigua and Barbuda, Benin, Ivory Coast, Dominica, Gabon, Gambia, Malawi, Mauritania, Niger, Senegal, Tanzania, Tonga, Zambia, and Zimbabwe.

Earlier,  President Trump had already imposed travel bans on citizens of 12 countries, including Afghanistan. Following a shooting incident involving an Afghan national and the National Guard outside the White House, Trump had also signaled a broader move to halt migration from what he described as “third-world countries.”

With the latest announcement, the total number of countries affected by US travel restrictions has risen to 35. The Trump administration is also reportedly considering imposing similar bans on citizens of 15 more countries, most of them in Africa.

A White House spokesperson said the measures are aimed at preventing the entry of foreign nationals deemed to pose security or stability risks to the United States.

Trump files defamation lawsuit against BBC

Trump files defamation

Washington: US President Donald Trump has filed a defamation lawsuit against the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), accusing the broadcaster of airing an edited clip of his January 6 speech that allegedly damaged his reputation.

According to reports, President Trump has lodged the lawsuit in Florida, seeking $5 billion in damages over the broadcast of what he claims was a misleadingly edited version of his address. Trump contended that the BBC presented his remarks out of context, resulting in serious harm to his public standing.

The US president also warned the British broadcaster of further legal action, previously threatening to seek up to $1 billion in damages over the matter.

The controversy stems from a BBC documentary in which segments of Trump’s January 6 speech were edited together to give the impression that he directly instructed his supporters to march toward the US Capitol and engage in confrontation.

 Trump maintains that the quoted remarks were delivered nearly an hour apart and were not intended to incite violence.

The BBC has since acknowledged the error and issued an apology, admitting that different portions of the January 6, 2021 speech were combined in a manner that created a misleading impression that Trump had explicitly called for violence.

Following the incident, BBC Director General Tim Davie and BBC News Chief Deborah Turness have reportedly resigned over the editorial lapse.

Trump calls tariffs his ‘favorite word’ amid billion-dollar economic gains

Trump calls

Pennsylvania: Speaking at a major event in Pennsylvania, US President Donald Trump said that “tariff” has become his favorite word as billions of dollars are flowing into the US economy through them.

During his address, Trump made several claims regarding economic growth, investment, foreign policy, and border security.

He stated that the government has provided $12 billion in aid to American farmers using tariff revenues and announced that an energy company will invest $10 billion in Pennsylvania, calling it a positive step for the US economy.

Trump also claimed that Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the UAE have pledged $4 trillion in investment in the United States. According to the leaders of these countries, the US has become a powerful state again within a year.

On the economic front, he asserted that oil prices have fallen below $2 per gallon and that the income of the working class has doubled under his administration.

Criticizing former President Biden, Trump said that his government was “hostile to the working class” and allowed 25 million people to enter the US illegally during his tenure.

Highlighting border security, Trump claimed that North Korea has the world’s toughest border while the U.S. is witnessing reverse migration for the first time in its history.

On global peace, Trump said his administration has actively worked to maintain international stability, mediating ceasefires between Pakistan and India, as well as easing tensions between Thailand and Cambodia.

“The Beast”: The ultra-secure state car of US President

“The Beast”

“The Beast” is considered one of the most secure vehicles in the world, designed exclusively for the safety of the US President. Renowned for its luxury and advanced features, this armored limousine is a symbol of both elegance and protection.

Manufactured by General Motors, “The Beast” is equipped with a powerful aircraft-grade engine and heavily armored body, making it more akin to a mobile fortress than a regular car.

 Though it appears to have a standard Cadillac exterior, it has been specially built since 2018 under strict instructions from the Secret Service to ensure the President’s security at all times.

Key features of “The Beast” include:

Weight: Between 15,000 to 20,000 pounds, with thick, heavy doors.

Windows: 5-inch-thick bulletproof glass.

Tires: Run-flat tires capable of operating even after gunfire.

Interior Protection: Shielded against chemical and biological attacks, with an emergency stock of the President’s blood type on board.

Communication Systems: Advanced secure communication equipment allows the President to stay connected safely from anywhere in the world.

Control Room-Like Interior: The inside resembles a mini control room, not a standard limousine.

The decision to use heavily armored vehicles came after President John F. Kennedy’s assassination in 1963, leading to continuous upgrades in each subsequent model. The suspension system is so robust that the car remains operational even after a bomb explosion.

“The Beast” is not just a car—it is a state-of-the-art security fortress on wheels, designed to protect the highest office in the world under any circumstance.

Trump claims

US President Donald Trump has said that his administration is close to finalizing an agreement to end the ongoing Russia–Ukraine war.

Speaking at a Thanksgiving event at the White House, President Trump noted that thousands of soldiers have been killed in the conflict, but “extraordinary progress” has now been made on a proposed peace deal aimed at bringing the war to an end.

Trump said his administration had helped stop eight conflicts in nine months, and efforts were now underway to halt another war.

He also shared an update on social media regarding Ukraine, stating that he had instructed his special representative, Steve Witkoff, to travel to Moscow for a meeting with the Russian President. According to Trump, only a few outstanding issues remain before an agreement can be finalized.

The White House also confirmed the significant progress, saying that while the peace framework had advanced, several “delicate points” still required further negotiations.

A few days earlier, U.S. and Ukrainian officials held talks in Geneva on a 28-point American peace proposal, after which both sides agreed to continue working on a new framework.

It is worth noting that President Trump has given Ukraine a deadline of November 27 to accept the peace agreement.

Trump takes

MIAMI: US President Donald Trump has asserted that eight aircraft were shot down during the Pakistan-India conflict, a claim that has reignited debate over the scale of hostilities between the two nuclear-armed neighbors.

Addressing a business forum in Miami, Trump said he had read in some newspapers that seven or eight planes were downed during the war. “One newspaper reported that seven aircraft were shot down, another mentioned losses on one side — I won’t name them, most of them give fake news,” he remarked.

Trump went on to assert that, in reality, eight aircraft were downed during the conflict between the two nuclear-armed nations.

He once again took credit for mediating peace, claiming that the war between Pakistan and India was halted “with the help of tariffs.”
