\n\tIran has warned the US not to attack over protests that have rocked the country, as Donald Trump weighed the options for a response from Washington, with the reported death toll from the demonstrations soaring to the hundreds, The Guardian <\/a>reports.<\/div>\n
\n\t\u00a0<\/div>\n
\n\tAt least 538 people have been killed in the violence surrounding demonstrations, according to the US-based Human Rights Activists News Agency, including 490 protesters. The group reported that more than 10,600 people were arrested by Iranian authorities.<\/div>\n
\n\t\u00a0<\/div>\n
\n\tAnother rights monitor, the Norway-based Iran Human Rights group, said on Sunday that at least 192 protesters had been killed. Casualty figures varied between rights groups as they struggled to access people within Iran amid the internet blackout in the country, but all are expected to be undercounts. The regime has not supplied its own figures and it was not possible to independently verify them.<\/div>\n
\n\t\u00a0<\/div>\n
\n
\n\t\tThe drastic rise in the reported death toll came as authorities intensified their crackdown on the protests, now in their second week. Rights groups were struggling to reach contacts within Iran due to a complete internet shutdown in the country, and warned that the death toll was likely to climb even further.<\/div>\n
\n\t\t\u00a0<\/div>\n
\n\t\tThe brutal crackdown has raised the likelihood of US intervention, with Trump saying he would \u201crescue\u201d protesters if the Iranian government killed them. He reiterated his threat to intervene on Saturday night as the protests raged. \u201cIran is looking at FREEDOM, perhaps like never before. The USA stands ready to help!!!,\u201d the US president said on the Truth Social platform.<\/div>\n
\n\t\t\u00a0<\/div>\n
\n\t\tThe Wall Street Journal reported that Trump was to be briefed by his team on Tuesday on options including military strikes, using secret cyber weapons, widening sanctions and providing online help to anti-government sources. Iranian officials bristled at the prospect of a US strike, with the speaker of parliament warning that Israel and US interests in the Middle East would be \u201clegitimate targets\u201d if Washington struck Iran.<\/div>\n
\n\t\t\u00a0<\/div>\n
\n\t\t\u201cIn the event of an attack on Iran, both the occupied territory and all American military centres, bases and ships in the region will be our legitimate targets,\u201d Mohammad-Bagher Ghalibaf said.<\/div>\n
\n\t\t\u00a0<\/div>\n
\n\t\tThe Iranian president, Masoud Pezeshkian, accused the US and Israel of being behind unrest in the country, saying they had brought in \u201cterrorists\u201d who were attacking public property. \u201cFamilies, I ask you: do not allow your young children to join rioters and terrorists who behead people and kill others,\u201d Pezeshkian said in a TV interview, appearing to adopt a harder line against demonstrations.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
