The Iranian people are paying with their blood for five decades of catastrophic Democrat foreign policy that empowered one of the world's most brutal regimes. As massive protests enter their third week across all 31 provinces, with demonstrators courageously demanding the fall of the Islamic Republic, they're being met with savage government crackdowns while the American left that helped create this nightmare stays conspicuously quiet.
The scenes coming out of Iran are heartbreaking but inspiring—ordinary citizens risking everything to throw off the chains of Islamic tyranny. Yet where are the voices of Barack Obama and his former deputies who spent eight years legitimizing and enriching this terrorist regime? Where are the Democrats who cheered as Obama shipped pallets of cash to Tehran in the dead of night?
Democrats Built This Monster
Let's be crystal clear about how we got here. For 50 years, Democrat administrations have consistently chosen appeasement over strength when dealing with Iran's mullahs. From Jimmy Carter's pathetic response to the 1979 hostage crisis that emboldened the revolutionaries, to Obama's disastrous nuclear deal that flooded the regime with billions to fund terrorism and oppression, Democrats have blood on their hands.
President Trump showed the world what real leadership looks like when he terminated Obama's Iran nuclear deal and implemented crippling sanctions that brought the regime to its knees. He eliminated terrorist mastermind Qasem Soleimani and restored American deterrence in the region. The results spoke for themselves—Iran was contained and weakened.
But the Iranian people deserve more than containment. They deserve freedom from the Islamic Republic that has brutalized them for over four decades.
Trump's Return Offers Hope
Now that President Trump has returned to the Oval Office, there's finally hope that America will stand with the Iranian people instead of their oppressors. The Trump-Vance administration understands that the regime in Tehran is the world's leading state sponsor of terrorism and an existential threat to peace.
The brave protesters in Iran's streets aren't just fighting for their own freedom—they're fighting against a regime that funds Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis. Their victory would transform the Middle East and make America safer.
Will this administration finally do what decades of weak Democrat leadership refused to do? The Iranian people are watching, and so are we.
