President Donald Trump has once again demonstrated what real American leadership looks like on the world stage, delivering an urgent and powerful message of solidarity to the brave Iranian protesters risking their lives to fight the tyrannical regime in Tehran.
While the previous administration offered nothing but empty platitudes and behind-the-scenes deals with the mullahs, President Trump is doing what he's always done—standing unequivocally with people fighting for their God-given rights to freedom and self-determination.
A Message the Mullahs Don't Want Iranians to Hear
The President's message to Iranian protesters couldn't be clearer: America sees you, America supports you, and America will not abandon you to the thugs who have brutalized your nation for over four decades.
This is a stark departure from the Obama-Biden approach of sending pallets of cash to the regime while Iranian dissidents were beaten, tortured, and murdered in the streets. Remember that? Billions of dollars to fund terrorism while freedom fighters were left to die.
President Trump has always understood what establishment politicians in Washington refuse to acknowledge—the Iranian people are not our enemies. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, the Ayatollahs, and the corrupt regime that chants "Death to America" while oppressing its own citizens? Those are our enemies.
Maximum Pressure Returns
The Trump administration's return to a maximum pressure campaign against Iran has already begun to show results. With the regime's economy crumbling and international isolation increasing, the conditions are ripe for the Iranian people to reclaim their nation.
"The brave people of Iran deserve a government that respects their dignity and their rights. They deserve freedom."
This is what American foreign policy should look like, folks. Not appeasement. Not secret deals. Not looking the other way while a terrorist regime develops nuclear weapons. Strength, clarity, and moral courage.
The Deep State Hates This
You can bet the foreign policy establishment—the same geniuses who gave us the disastrous Iran nuclear deal—are losing their minds over Trump's direct communication with the Iranian people. They prefer back-channel diplomacy that accomplishes nothing while the mullahs laugh all the way to the uranium enrichment facility.
But President Trump has never played by their rules, and that's exactly why the American people sent him back to the White House.
The mainstream media will barely cover this story, of course. They're too busy running interference for the regime, just like they did when they ignored the historic protests that erupted under the previous administration. Can't have Americans seeing what real oppression looks like when you're busy calling Trump a dictator.
What This Means for America
A free Iran would transform the Middle East. It would eliminate the world's leading state sponsor of terrorism. It would protect our ally Israel. It would bring stability to a region that has been plagued by Iranian aggression for decades.
President Trump understands this. More importantly, he has the courage to act on it.
The Iranian people have been waiting for an American president who would stand with them without reservation or apology. They finally have one.
The question now is: will the freedom-loving people of Iran seize this moment? And will the American people continue to support a president who puts America First while also standing for liberty around the world?
One thing's for certain—with Trump in the White House, the mullahs are on notice. The days of American weakness are over.
