Protests challenging Iran’s theocracy have reached the two-week mark, with demonstrators flooding the streets in Tehran and Mashhad. Activists say at least 116 people have died, and 2,600 have been detained. U.S. President Donald Trump has expressed support for the protesters, hinting at possible military action. Iran’s parliament speaker warned the U.S. and Israel could be targets if the U.S. strikes Iran.
Jerome Powell, Chair of the Federal Reserve of the United States, issued a video statement in which he bluntly characterized the threat of criminal charges as simple “pretexts” to undermine the Fed’s independence when it comes to setting interest rates.
