Iran warns of retaliation if Trump strikes

The United States is withdrawing some personnel from bases in the Middle East, a U.S. official said on Wednesday, after a senior Iranian official said Tehran had warned neighbors it would hit American bases if Washington strikes. With Iran's leadership trying to quell the worst domestic unrest the Islamic Republic has ever faced, Tehran is seeking to deter U.S. President Donald Trump's repeated threats to intervene on behalf of anti-government protesters. A U.S. official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the United States was pulling some personnel from key bases in the region as a precaution given heightened regional tensions. Britain was also withdrawing some personnel from an air base in Qatar ahead of possible U.S. strikes, the i newspaper reported. The British defense ministry had no immediate comment. "All the signals are that a U.S. attack is imminent, but that is also how this administration behaves to keep everyone on their toes. Unpredictability is part of the strategy," a Western military official told Reuters later on Wednesday. Two European officials said U.S. military intervention could come in the next 24 hours. An Israeli official also said it appeared Trump had decided to intervene, though the scope and timing remained unclear. Qatar said drawdowns from its Al Udeid air base, the biggest U.S. base in the Middle East, were "being undertaken in response to the current regional tensions". Three diplomats said some personnel had been told to leave the base, though there were no immediate signs of large numbers of troops being bussed out to a soccer stadium and shopping mall as took place hours before an Iranian missile strike last year. Trump has repeatedly threatened to intervene in support of protesters in Iran, where thousands of people have been reported killed in a crackdown on the unrest against clerical rule. Iran and its Western foes have both described the unrest, which began two weeks ago as demonstrations against dire economic conditions and rapidly escalated in recent days, as the most violent since the 1979 Islamic Revolution that installed Iran's system of Shi'ite clerical rule. An Iranian official has said more than 2,000 people have died. A rights group put the toll at more than 2,600. Iran has "never faced this volume of destruction", Armed Forces Chief of Staff Abdolrahim Mousavi said on Wednesday, blaming foreign enemies. French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot described "the most violent repression in Iran's contemporary history". Iranian authorities have accused the U.S. and Israel of fomenting the unrest, carried out by people it calls armed terrorists. Trump has openly threatened to intervene in Iran for days, without giving specifics. In an interview with CBS News on Tuesday, he vowed "very strong action" if Iran executes protesters. He also urged Iranians to keep protesting and take over institutions, declaring "help is on the way". The senior Iranian official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said Tehran had asked U.S. allies in the region to prevent Washington from attacking Iran. "Tehran has told regional countries, from Saudi Arabia and UAE to Turkey, that U.S. bases in those countries will be attacked" if the U.S. targets Iran, the official said. Direct contacts between Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi and U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff have been suspended, the official added. The United States has forces across the region including the forward headquarters of its Central Command at Al Udeid in Qatar and the headquarters of the U.S. Navy's Fifth Fleet in Bahrain. GOVERNMENT DOESN'T SEEM NEAR COLLAPSE, WESTERN OFFICIAL SAYS The flow of information from inside Iran has been hampered by an internet blackout. The U.S.-based HRANA rights group said it had so far verified the deaths of 2,403 protesters and 147 government-affiliated individuals, dwarfing tolls from previous waves of protests crushed by the authorities in 2022 and 2009. The government's prestige was hammered by a 12-day Israeli bombing campaign last June - joined by the U.S. - that followed setbacks for Iran's regional allies in Lebanon and Syria. European powers restored U.N. sanctions over Iran's nuclear program, compounding the economic crisis there. The unrest on such a scale caught the authorities off guard at a vulnerable time, but it does not appear that the government faces imminent collapse, and its security apparatus still appears to be in control, one Western official said. The authorities have sought to project images showing they retain public support. Iranian state TV broadcast footage of large funeral processions for people killed in the unrest in Tehran, Isfahan, Bushehr and other cities. People waved flags and pictures of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and held aloft signs with anti-riot slogans. President Masoud Pezeshkian, an elected figure whose power is subordinate to that of Khamenei, told a cabinet meeting that as long as the government had popular support, "all the enemies' efforts against the country will come to nothing". State media reported that the head of Iran's top security body, Ali Larijani, had spoken to the foreign minister of Qatar, while Iran's top diplomat Araqchi had spoken to his Emirati and Turkish counterparts. Araqchi told UAE Foreign Minister Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed that "calm has prevailed". HRANA reported 18,137 arrests so far.

Clash At CA Federal Building Leaves Protester Injured

A confrontation outside a federal immigration building in Southern California left a protester seriously injured after federal officers deployed crowd-control munitions during a protest that authorities say became disorderly. The demonstration took place Friday outside the federal immigration facility in Santa Ana, where officers in riot gear were stationed as crowds gathered and chanted. According to the Department of Homeland Security, some protesters refused to leave the property and threw objects toward officers, prompting law enforcement to take action to restore order. During the encounter, a 21-year-old man was struck in the face by a crowd-control projectile and later taken into custody. Officials say two federal officers were also injured during the disturbance. DHS described the gathering as a violent protest and said arrests were made for assault on a federal officer and disorderly conduct. The agency did not immediately release details about the type of munitions used or the extent of injuries to those involved. The incident remains under review as investigations continue.

Ex-SC Lawmaker Faces 20 Years in Child Abuse Case

Prosecutors are urging a federal judge to sentence former South Carolina Republican lawmaker R.J. May to 20 years in prison for distributing hundreds of videos depicting the sexual abuse of children. May pleaded guilty last year to federal charges after admitting he shared graphic files on social media platforms over several days in 2024. Court documents say the material involved toddlers and young children and was distributed to multiple users across the country. In sentencing filings, prosecutors argue May repeatedly revictimized the children by sharing the videos and say his actions were especially egregious given his role as a lawmaker who supported legislation aimed at protecting minors. May is asking the judge for leniency and a significantly shorter sentence. In a statement to the court, he cited addiction issues and personal circumstances while expressing remorse for his actions. Federal sentencing guidelines recommend a prison term of roughly 17 to 22 years. The judge is expected to hear arguments from both sides before issuing a final sentence.
