Protests are growing in Minneapolis amid anger over the deadly ICE shooting there. Democratic lawmakers have condemned the actions of the ICE officer while Vice President Vance strongly defended him today.

Iran has insisted for decades that its nuclear program is peaceful. However, its officials have increasingly threatened to pursue a nuclear weapon. Iran had been enriching uranium to near weapons-grade levels prior to the U.S. attack in June, making it the only country in the world without a nuclear weapons program to do so.

Iranian president Masoud Pezeshkian said on Thursday that “any violent or coercive behavior should be avoided” in handling the protests and called on his website for the “utmost restraint” in addition to “dialogue, engagement and listening to the people’s demands.”

Iran faces its biggest protests since 2022 as a nationwide internet blackout, reported deaths and US warnings intensify pressure on Tehran’s leadership.

Protests are planned across the Carolinas after a fatal shooting in Minneapolis involving an ICE agent, with rallies in Greenville, Charleston, Columbia and Asheville.
