Israeli media reports and a hawkish US lawmaker signalled that Iran might be next on US President Donald Trump’s list of interventions following the abduction of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro.

The Jerusalem Post reported on Monday that the US is weighing “some intervention” in Iran’s protests.

The article also said how Israel believes that the US’s abduction of Maduro over the weekend may indicate a new US risk threshold for intervention in the Islamic Republic of Iran.

The report follows an appearance by Republican Senator Lindsey Graham on Fox News in which he sported a “Make Iran Great Again” baseball hat, saying, “I pray and hope 2026 will be the year that we make Iran great again.”

The brazen US intervention in South America came just after Trump on Friday warned Iran that the US could intervene to “rescue” Iranians if they continue to be met with a harsh response from their government amid protests there.

    The rioters have AKs and are shooting at cops and buildings. They are also setting mosques buildings ablaze. It is hardly a “protest”.

    Also “calling for international help” can this bad attempt at a color revolution be any more obvious?
