Iran's warning that it might hit US bases in the Middle East if the US backs the protests has everyone worried. What I find most important is that this threat shows how tense things are between Iran and the US, and how easily the protests could turn into a bigger regional mess.
I'm concerned about how Iran's crackdown at home is mixed up with its actions abroad, which means even small things could blow up fast. It's a tough spot for the US they want to support human rights but don't want a war.
To me, it's vital that the world tries to find ways to talk things out, keep the crisis from getting worse, and keep people safe. In the end, this threat just goes to show how unstable the Middle East is and how badly we need to start talking.
