The people of Iran have protested the Islamic terrorists running their country before, and were ignored by the West and severely punished and killed.

This time, it feels different, likely due to President Trump’s words and actions.  Only hours before the capture and arrest of Venezuelan terrorist leader Maduro, President Trump shared a message to the leadership of the terrorist Islamist regime in Iran.

He said that you better not shoot and kill protesters or the US “will come to their rescue”.  This was posted on Truth Social.

If Iran shoots and violently kills peaceful protesters, which is their custom, the United States of America will come to their rescue. We are locked and loaded and ready to go. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J.TRUMP

This took on new meaning in light of events in Venezuela, which occurred only hours after President Trump shared the above message.  

President Trump echoed this message on the State Department’s Persian-language account.

Two days later, on January 4, President Trump shared another message at the State Department in Persian.

NOW: U.S. State Dept in Persian just posted:

Following President Trump’s comments, the Crown Prince of Iran shared a message with President Trump.

Amid growing protests in Iran over economic struggles, exiled Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi expressed gratitude towards US President Donald Trump for his strong stance against violence directed at demonstrators. Trump had issued a stark warning to the Iranian government, saying that if the authorities continue to target peaceful protesters with deadly force, the US would step in to offer support.

Now the whole country of Iran is standing up.  The crowds in Tehran are HUGE.

Security forces (police, Basij, IRGC) have used live fire, tear gas, and hospital raids. There have also been reports of officers waving/supporting protesters or refusing orders. This suggests potential cracks, though unconfirmed widespread defections.

The crowds are unimaginable –

Yazd, 18 Dey 1404. The first night of the call by Prince Reza Pahlavi. The crowd’s size was beyond imagination. Imam Hossein Square was fully under the people’s control, and the occupying forces had retreated.

Here’s a video of Iranians charging the regime after being shot at. This is their final battle.

An Iranian in Mashhad just shared this footage of hundreds of defenseless men sprinting after Khamenei’s IRGC forces with nothing left to lose.

Live ammunition, tear gas, snipers…nothing is stopping them.

Iran is a war zone and the murderous Islamic regime is losing control.
