Iran on Friday warned against any US intervention in the country, vowing a response after President Donald Trump said he would come to the aid of protesters in the Islamic republic.
"Any interventionist hand that attacks Iran's security under any pretext whatsoever will be exposed to a response," Ali Shamkhani, an adviser to the supreme leader, wrote on X.
"Iran's security is a red line."
A top Iranian security official also warned against Trump intervening in protests gripping the country, saying it would "destabilise the entire region".
"Trump should know that any American interference in this internal matter would amount to destabilising the entire region and harming American interests," Ali Larijani, who heads Iran's highest security body said.
