President Donald Trump is urging Iranian leaders to show humanity toward protesters as the death toll from ongoing demonstrations reportedly exceeds 2,500. His administration is weighing its next steps, balancing public condemnation with policy decisions. The situation remains tense, with international eyes on how Washington will respond to the escalating crisis and the regime's violent crackdown on its own people.

Mehran Kamrava, a Professor of Government at Georgetown University in Qatar, argues that the best American response is to do nothing. He suggests that direct US intervention, even rhetorical, could backfire by allowing the Iranian regime to blame Washington for domestic unrest. This advice reflects a long-standing debate about foreign influence in Iran's internal affairs.

Bloomberg’s Joumanna Bercetche discussed these findings, highlighting how the protests challenge the regime's stability. The core issue remains the government's response to economic hardship and civil liberties. Kamrava's perspective pushes for a hands-off approach, fearing that US involvement might inadvertently strengthen the government's narrative against external interference.
