With the people of Iran once again rising up in protest against their oppressors, America’s leaders should leave no doubt that they side with the forces of freedom — and warn the gang that rules the country that Uncle Sam is watching.
“Death to Khamenei,” the crowds are now shouting. Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei’s response began to turn deadly Thursday, with security goons firing on a crowd in the southwestern city of Lordegan, killing at least two.
Words of support from Washington are vital now — to encourage the protests and make Tehran think twice about a harsher crackdown.
UN Ambassador Mike Waltz spoke out Monday; Secretary of State Marco Rubio and President Trump should join him now.
Don’t be like President Barack Obama, who time and again flinched from publicly siding with Iranian protests, hesitating even to denounce Tehran’s bloody suppression of them.
Obama was busy trying to appease the regime into cooperating with his demented nuclear deal. Team Trump’s approach has already proved far more to the point: bombing Iran’s nuke program into smithereens.
Iran’s people have risen up repeatedly these last 15 years against the misrule of the so-called Islamic Republic, with their cries shifting from calls for reform to demands to end the oppression installed by the 1979 revolution. --->READ MORE HERE
And issues a warning.
In stark contrast to the unprincipled reactions of both Barack Obama and Old Joe Biden when the Iranian people took to the streets in previous years to protest against the bloodthirsty mullahs of the Islamic Republic, President Donald Trump didn’t hesitate to remark on the unrest in Iran on Monday, and to declare his support for the courageous Iranians who are putting their lives on the line for freedom after enduring 46 years of tyranny.
Trump made it clear that he was “not going to talk about overthrow of a regime.” He also made clear, however, that the nationwide demonstrations that have once again engulfed Iran have ample justification. “They’ve got tremendous inflation,” the president observed. “Their economy is busted, the economy is no good.”
Trump also noted the brutality of Iran’s Islamic regime, pointing out that “every time they have a riot or somebody forms a group, little or big, they start shooting people. You know, they kill people. All of a sudden people start getting shot and that group disbanded pretty quickly.”
Trump noted correctly that this was the Islamic Republic’s longstanding practice: “I’ve watched this for years — there is tremendous discontent. I’ve watched it for years, and vicious, vicious people.”
Meanwhile, Mike Walz, the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, left no ambiguity about where the nation stands regarding the latest round of protests in Iran, writing: “The people of Iran want freedom. We stand with Iranians in the streets of Tehran and across the country as they protest a radical regime that has brought them nothing but economic downturn and war.” The State Department’s Farsi account on X added that the U.S. stands with the Iranian people’s attempt “to make their voices heard.”
A regime that is as severely threatened as the Islamic Republic is now can lash out with lethal force, and Trump also made it clear when he met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday that the mullahs should not assume that they can lash out without facing the consequences of doing so, as they did so often during the Obama and Biden years. “Now I hear that Iran is trying to build up again,” Trump said, “and if they are, we’re going to have to knock them down. We’ll knock the hell out of them.” --->READ MORE HEREFollow link below to a relevant story:
