ALBAWABA - A protester in the Iranian capital, Tehran, changed the name of a street in the city after US President Donald Trump on Tuesday.
Over the past few hours, social media platforms have circulated a video showing a protester in Tehran placing a sticker bearing the name of US President Donald Trump on a street sign, a symbolic act that has sparked widespread controversy and mixed reactions both inside and outside Iran.
Several Iranian cities are witnessing a wave of ongoing protests fueled by the economic situation, rising prices, and the devaluation of the local currency. These protests are accompanied by escalating political slogans and sharp criticism of the authorities.
Activists consider this a unique form of political protest, carrying implications that extend beyond mere symbolism, especially given the rising tensions between Tehran and Washington.
The video's circulation coincided with statements by Donald Trump warning Iranian authorities against using violence to suppress protesters, threatening a "very harsh" response if security forces killed demonstrators.
The U.S. President added that Washington is closely monitoring developments in Iran, emphasizing that any bloody escalation will be met with a strong response.

On the other hand, exiled Prince Reza Pahlavi appeared in a video statement addressed to the Iranian protesters on Thursday, stating that he is ready to lead "this transition from this tyranny to a future democracy".
At least 29 protesters have been killed and more than 1,200 arrested as demonstrations across Iran continue for the tenth consecutive day.
