Due to the protests in the country, Iran, which President Trump has frequently threatened with "We will strike," took a striking step. Iran conducted its first intercontinental ballistic missile test by launching a missile with a range of 10,000 kilometers towards Siberia, with Russia's permission. It was noted that the missile has the potential to reach the eastern coast of the United States, including New York and Washington.
The protests that lasted for weeks due to the high cost of living in Iran have subsided. While many people lost their lives in the clashes between the demonstrators and security forces, U.S. President Donald Trump's statements further fueled the fire. Trump repeatedly threatened to strike Iran, which has been a topic of debate regarding its intervention in the protests.
IRAN'S FIRST INTERCONTINENTAL BALLISTIC MISSILE TEST
A striking move came from Iran. With Russia's permission, Iran launched a missile with a range of 10,000 kilometers towards Siberia. This was Tehran's first intercontinental ballistic missile test. It was noted that the missile has the potential to reach the U.S. East Coast, including New York and Washington.
PROTESTS IN IRAN
The protests that began on December 28, 2025, led by shopkeepers in the Grand Bazaar of Tehran, spread across the country due to the rapid depreciation of the local currency against foreign currencies and the deepening economic troubles.
After the events that escalated during the protests in the capital Tehran on January 8, the country's administration had blocked internet access.
President Trump, in his statements regarding the protests, had threatened that if Iran opened fire on the demonstrators, they would respond to this country with military methods.
