President Trump is doing the opposite of former President Barack Obama, who completely ignored the last series of mass protests in Iran. But while most Americans would hope for the Iranian regime to be toppled from within, far fewer have an appetite for the intervention that President Trump is threatening. We can cheer for the Iranian people to succeed without actually sticking our noses into any of it.
The latest unrest in Iran started over the collapsing economy, with the rial tanking so badly that it now takes about 1.4 million of them to buy a single U.S. dollar. Protests kicked off in Tehran but quickly spread to other regions, including the west, where videos show streets on fire and gunfire cracking through the night.
At least seven people are dead so far—protesters and security forces alike—and the government under President Masoud Pezeshkian has shut down businesses and offices in 21 provinces to try to contain it. State TV claims they’ve arrested monarchists and folks tied to European groups, even seizing smuggled weapons, but that sounds like the usual scapegoating to deflect from the real issues.
Trump didn’t hold back in his response. “If Iran shoots and ‘violently kills peaceful protesters, which is their custom, the United States of America will come to their rescue,'” he posted on Truth Social. He followed up with, “We are locked and loaded and ready to go.”
It’s a clear line in the sand, especially after the U.S. bombed Iranian nuclear sites back in June during that short dust-up with Israel. Both Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu have kept the pressure on, warning Tehran not to rebuild its nuclear program.
Iran’s leaders are scrambling, saying they’ve stopped enriching uranium altogether in a bid to restart talks and lift sanctions. But with no negotiations happening yet, the economy keeps spiraling, and the protests show no sign of letting up. This echoes the 2022 uprising after Mahsa Amini died in custody, when women led the charge against the regime’s brutal rules. Back then, the mullahs cracked down hard, killing hundreds, and the world mostly watched.
Some see a bigger picture here, with Iran’s theocracy propped up by alliances that stretch to Russia and China, funneling arms and cash to keep the Ayatollah in power while ordinary Iranians suffer. Whispers in intelligence circles suggest foreign agents are stirring the pot in these protests, maybe to force a regime change or draw the U.S. into another endless conflict. After all, the deep state has a history of pushing interventions that drain American blood and treasure for dubious gains.
Pezeshkian’s reformist government talks a good game about listening to protesters, but their hands are tied by the hardliners and the Revolutionary Guard. The supreme leader still calls the shots, and history shows these regimes don’t loosen their grip without a fight. Trump’s stance recalls Ronald Reagan’s firm hand against tyrants, standing up for freedom without necessarily committing troops unless pushed.
For Christians watching this, it’s hard not to think of passages like Psalm 82, where God judges rulers who oppress the weak and fail to deliver justice. The Iranian people, many of them yearning for basic rights, deserve better than a government that squanders resources on proxy wars while its citizens go hungry.
In the end, Trump’s warning might deter more bloodshed, or it could escalate things if Iran doubles down. Americans remember the quagmires of Iraq and Afghanistan all too well, so any intervention is a non-starter for anyone other than the most hawkish NeoCons. Supporting the protesters morally is one thing; jumping in militarily is another. Let’s hope the regime crumbles under its own weight before it comes to that.
Warning to Trump – This is none your business, Iran is zero threat to us and has in fact pursued peace, but you and Israel killed their negotiations (you asshole). Your NSA director has said Iran has no serious nuclear program but you only take input from Israel which paid you $250 million for your election, when you said you would fund your own and never be bought. You not only were bought you sold your soul. You promised to end all these wars and all you have done the past year is foment new wars, every one at the urging of Israel. Your voters voted for you on the promise the wars would end. You lied. You are in office now on false pretenses. You are a fraud. You are taking the US into a global nuclear war with Russia, China, Venezuela, Iran, and many more which have come to hate your bullying reckless policies. You must stop your insane and violent and lawless attacks on other nations. You are on notice.
Write it in Pharsi so readers will know such nonsense spews forth from a brutal regimist and socioipath.
No it comes from an American who voted for Trump twice because of his promises to end all the wars, which he has turned into complete lies as he is now the biggest NEOCON war monger in history. As for you, you are a brain dead cult supporter who enables a sociopath who is helping a genocide in Gaza and doing all he can to start a nuclear war with Russia, where he just allowed US intelligence to support an assassination attempt on President Putin.

Wow, there are still so many brain washed fools running around that Trumps OWS clot shot hasn’t taken out yet. However, they are still dropping like flies,(new study just found that 850 Thousand American’s dead so far) while their frontal lobe is destroyed and they can no longer discern, reason or control emotions, hence, why they are delusional.
All of the global events was caused by leftists like Biden and his leftist European president friends with their weak foreign policy. Trump is trying to end them and it takes negotiation from a position of power to do so. Sometimes it requires using the big stick to get them in line.
Yeah, they have already lined up their gunsights to take out “mad dog” America. I hate to say it but what they are doing makes a lot of sense to me. Really, you can’t believe a damned thing DC says. I voted for Trump and I have been betrayed. My congressmen* seem to be immobilized, or worse compromised. This CANNOT END WELL!
*Lindsay Graham has profited in the 10’s of millions from the war in Ukraine.
Never mind that they did declare war on the united states like 48 hours prior to the protests, blew up our soldiers over and over again during the iraq war, fund and organize most of the modern terrorist organization while providing oil to our enemies and murdering their own citizens protesting against the Islamic version of a death cult of a government that they do have. Other then that, a little fiery but mostly peaceful country
They learned from Uncle Sam!
You’re delusional. Your tds has fried your brain. Go take your meds and shut the fuck up, loser. Where were you when all the bullshit wars happened? Not a fucking word. When the left starts a war it never intends to win, trash like you are full of excuses why the left has the need for these wars. You people are as phony as a three dollar bill. Iran needs an ass kicking. The mullahs have to go. We’ve spent billions fighting terrorism, when we should have toppled Iran decades ago. We’d saved money and lives. It’s past time to end the mullahs.
Trumps Sycophant’s are suffering from delusions. You will fall down and worship the Anti-Christ, just like you are doing for Trump. Totally disgusting.
All you libs ever do is cut and paste, never accept blame for what y’all have done to the country and swear to the devil that you are the victims. Any time you open your pie holes it’s the same bla bla bla orange man bad. If your not already there move to Chicago, New York or Minneapolis and be with your own kind. DJT has the full support of over half the country and is doing a great job at fixing the crap y’all created. While your at it adopt an illegal family, pay for their food, medical care and give them the keys to your car. I’m sure they would appreciate it sport.
You are on notice because of your flagrant post. Mind your own business carpet flyer.
“You are on notice.” Sounds like a terroristic threat. Perhaps the Secret Service should investigate you. You can, and do, make valid points about wars and intervention and Israel’s huge influence on American politics and politicians without sliding into a threat.
God does not continue to tolerate America based on its sexual purity, that’s for sure. The only reason the United States of America is still on the map is because it supports Israel 🇮🇱 based on the covenant God made with Abraham called “The Abrahamic Covenant.”
Disagree! See Ezekiel 20:33-44. It is the Lord Himself who will place the Jews back into the Land of Israel-NOT the Balfour Declaration. The current occupants are a bunch of counterfeits drummed up by the Luciferian elite under the direction of the Rothchilds.
God does not need the assistance of any earthly powers to what he has promised to do for the Jews. Look at how He placed them there the first time. No “government assistance needed!
Jesus called this crew the synagogue of satan. I am not qualified to disagree with my creator.
Cry harder
Yes, there is a reason Trump the Snake renamed the DOD to Department of WAR. However, he had already declared war on the American people with his OWS clot shot and then spit in our face by giving Bourla of Pfizer an award of Billions more tax dollars for more of the poison, while praising Bourla for his job during the plandemic. Then there is his lying about the Epstein files, the assassination farce… We have been had. Why are so many still worshiping him?
The USA and Israel are “Antifa-izing” Iran. Go in and stir up trouble then “go to the rescue”. It’s the oldest trick in the book to “justify” intervention and anyone who falls for it is an unmitigated moron! And it’s pretty obvious to me, especially seeing the USA and Israel hard on to attack Iran the past FIVE decades! Trump is “so concerned” about Iranians when he lets his buddy Nutty Yahoo commit GENOCIDE in Gaza/West Bank!

It’s the oldest trick in the book to “justify” intervention and anyone who falls for it is an unmitigated moron! Israel and the USA’s unprovoked attack on Iran a few months ago proves that there is NO concern for the safety of Iranians, just like there is NO CONCERN for the carnage taking place in Gaza!
It is time to withdraw all support from Israel. America is in debt due to endless wars fought on behalf of Israel. America is hated throughout the world because of its unwavering support of that genocidal ethnostate. Meanwhile, Jews in America work around the clock to destroy the values that formed America. Israel has done nothing but bleed America dry.
Christ said, “If they hate you, remember they hated me first.” America is hated because of our faith in God. God is not anti-war. Read the Old Testament. War is necessary to protect the innocent, God bless Trump and America. You complainers need to get out. It’s clear you are just muslim trolls.
It is rather interesting how all the Democrats, leftists and so-called Liberals sided with the Muslim terrorists and Camel Jockeys.
Jews are ruled by the old testament. Christians are ruled by the new testament. Get your head out of the TUCHUS, then GFY. Thanks in advance
Well, you warned them. They did kill protesters. So…..? You are becoming known as ‘The Warning President’.
“When will you let go of human intellect and understanding, and Look to Me alone?”
“Beloved, be quick to repent of your pride and relinquish the need to be in control.
Why make Me wait and delay My Divine Deliverance and wonder-working Power to perform Miracles in the midst of you, because you have chosen to rather explore and exhaust all other man-made ideas and quick fix solutions?”
Are you afraid to post a scripture reference, or are you trying to speak for God from an unauthorized translation of someone else?
I support President Trump and Military Intervention if he deems it necessary. Iran is a paper tiger. Russia and China can do nothing.
Another dumb American willing to die for another country! 🤣
Funny how America First turned into the same old Establishment GOP garbage. Thanks Israel.
Are you kidding me? Who cares if the kill their own people!! None of our damn business! Who would come to our aid if we decide to use the 2A? NOBODY!!
Trump? Why don’t you mind your OWN F*cking business. You don’t have any problem with Jews massacring women and children, but you draw the line on Iran? You’re an as*hole.
Oh you mean the Gaza Philistine terrorists who enslave women and children and use them to attack Israel while holding them as human shields after they attack Israel? You must be referring to the Gaza camel jockeys who are simply amazed that a cell phone can be used for other things besides just IED’s.
GFY. They got Hitler way too early
What part of death to America do you not understand is it the death part is it the to America part? If history teaches us anything when someone says repeatedly they are going to wipe you out & their actions comport with what they are saying believe it. Jews massacring women & children ? If Israel wanted to wipe out Gaza with the weapons they have they could do it in a few days even without resorting to nuclear weapons. Israel has gone to great lengths to limit killing civilians but Hamas hides among the population.
This is what the Lord of armies says:
‘Behold, I am going to break the bow of Elam,
The [a]finest of their might.
36 I will bring upon Elam the four winds
From the four ends of heaven,
And will scatter them to all these winds;
And there will be no nation
To which the outcasts of Elam will not go.
37 So I will [b]shatter Elam before their enemies
And before those who seek their lives;
And I will bring disaster upon them,
Even My fierce anger,’ declares the Lord,
‘And I will send the sword after them
Until I have consumed them. Irans going to be in a world of HURT VERY SOON!
It will certainly make the regime hesitate it’s plan for world domination.
Trump, send Barron to fight your next war. I’m not going and no one in my family will. GFY thanks in advance. Signed A US VET and ex trump supporter
