A US State Department post warns Iran as protests continue, with reports of dozens killed, hundreds arrested, and Trump threatening similar action to capturing Venezuela's President Maduro.

Government spokeswoman Fatemeh Mohajerani said each Iranian will receive 1 million tomans ($7) per month for four months via direct deposit credit for basic necessities.

As the death toll rises, with more than 30 dead already, one brave protester says, “We have taken our lives in our hands as our weapon.”

This struggle has increased substantially following threats by President Trump, in which he said that America was "locked and loaded" to assist protestors if they were attacked by government forces.

The plan, called "Plan B" by the British report, would include 86-year-old Khamenei and 20 close people, including family and aides.

The exercises were made as a deterrent move by the Ayatollah's regime, while Iranians keep protesting nationwide for the eighth day in a row.

Last week, US President Donald Trump declared that the United States was "locked and loaded and ready to go" if Iran killed any more protestors, in a post on Truth Social.

Now that Khamenei has spoken, the crackdown will harden. Across three defining protest waves - in 2009, 2019, 2022 - the public record shows that when he speaks, the cost of dissent rises sharply.

At least 15 protesters and one security force member have been killed in seven days of nationwide protests in Iran, according to HRANA, though the true toll is hard to verify.

A weakened regime and deep economic anger have created an opening, but scattered protests now face a decisive moment
