Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei vowed not to yield to President Trump’s threat to come to the aid of protesters, as rights groups reported a sharp rise in arrests following days of unrest sparked by soaring inflation. Khamenei said the Islamic Republic "will not yield to the enemy" and that rioters should be "put in their place".
Venezuela: After the U.S. military kidnapped Venezuela’s Dictator/President Madura, President Trump stated he will designate a team to lead the country.

Will the oil field workers cooperate with a new U.S. backed government? Some people in the know doubt it.
