Tehran’s mayor claimed that during last night’s protests, demonstrators targeted hospitals and two medical centers, as well as 26 banks, 25 mosques, Basij bases, and law enforcement facilities, with the aim of spreading chaos and shaping a false narrative. He also alleged that protesters set fire to 48 fire trucks — including eight heavy firefighting engines — and attacked firefighters who were attempting to extinguish the blazes.

During an interview with Fox News’ Sean Hannity on Tuesday night, President Donald J. Trump was asked about the ongoing protests in Iran and reports that Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei may have a contingency plan to flee to Moscow. Trump said he is “following it very closely.” When Hannity mentioned reports that Khamenei has a Plan B to leave for Russia, Trump responded that Khamenei is “looking to go someplace.” Asked whether he believes Iran is on the verge of collapse, Trump said it could be, pointing to the regime’s history of violently suppressing protests. He warned that if Iranian authorities begin killing protesters en masse again, the United States is prepared to respond forcefully. Trump said there have already been deaths, but noted that many appear to have resulted from massive crowd surges during demonstrations rather than direct gunfire. He described the protests as enormous in scale, with intense enthusiasm for overturning the regime, likening the scenes to a “stampede” due to the sheer number of people in the streets. “We’ll see what happens,” Trump said, adding that Iranian leaders are aware the U.S. is ready to act if the situation escalates.

U.S. President Donald Trump: "We are going to start now hitting land with regard to the cartels. The cartels are running Mexico."

U.S. President Donald Trump on what comes next for Venezuela: “We’re taking billions and billions of dollars’ worth of oil — and it will grow into hundreds of billions, even trillions of dollars. Tomorrow, we’re meeting with all the major oil executives.”

Fifteen oil tankers that left Venezuela over the weekend without authorization — most reportedly carrying crude — appear to have mounted a coordinated effort to evade a U.S. Coast Guard and Navy blockade. The vessels are now hundreds of miles offshore and heading east toward Africa and Europe. Satellite imagery and a U.S. military official cited by The New York Times indicate that four tankers were observed moving eastward in the Atlantic, more than 400 miles from South America’s coast, while another group of five was seen sailing northeast through the Caribbean on Monday. That same day, a U.S. Navy Arleigh Burke–class guided-missile destroyer was photographed steaming toward the tankers crossing the Atlantic. One vessel, the Veronica — which is not carrying oil — reportedly changed its name to Galileo and reflagged under Russia this week, apparently to avoid a potential U.S. boarding. The Times also identified three additional tankers transporting Venezuelan oil that are now registered in Russia.
