Story Highlights

  • Iranian security forces have killed 36 protesters including 4 children across 27 provinces
  • Over 1,200 demonstrators arrested as economic protests demand regime change
  • Trump warned Iran the U.S. will intervene if peaceful protesters are killed
  • Tehran blames American “foreign interference” for inciting nationwide unrest

Trump’s Warning Triggers Regime Panic

The Iranian regime is scrambling to contain nationwide protests that began as economic strikes but have evolved into calls for regime change. President Trump’s Friday warning that America will “come to their rescue” if Iran kills peaceful protesters has sent shockwaves through Tehran’s leadership. Iranian spokesperson Esmail Baghaei desperately denounced U.S. and Israeli statements as “foreign interference” designed to incite violence, revealing the regime’s fear of American intervention under Trump’s restored presidency.

Deadly Crackdown Exposes Regime Brutality

Security forces have unleashed lethal force against demonstrators across 280 protest sites in 27 provinces, using live ammunition, pellet guns, and rubber bullets. The Human Rights Activists News Agency reports 30 protesters and 4 children killed, with over 1,200 arrested and 64 wounded. The deadliest violence occurred in Malekshahi, where Revolutionary Guards killed five protesters and wounded thirty others. Supreme Leader Khamenei personally authorized the brutal crackdown, ordering that “rioters must be put in their place.”

Economic Desperation Fuels Anti-Regime Uprising

What began as labor strikes over chronic economic hardship has exploded into widespread demonstrations demanding the overthrow of Iran’s Islamic Republic. Protests have engulfed major cities including clashes at Tehran’s Grand Bazaar, historically a regime stronghold. The unrest spans 88 cities and has spread to 17 universities, with ethnic minority areas like Kurdish and Lur-dominated Ilam province experiencing particularly severe violence. The regime’s economic mismanagement and sanctions have created conditions ripe for rebellion against authoritarian rule.

Reformist President Admits Government Failure

Even Iran’s supposedly reformist President Masoud Pezeshkian has acknowledged the government’s inability to handle the crisis alone, ordering investigations into killings in Ilam province. His admission of government overload exposes the fundamental weakness of a regime that can only maintain power through violence. The protests echo previous uprisings in 2019 and 2022, but Trump’s direct threat of intervention marks a new escalation. This represents exactly the kind of foreign policy strength conservatives expect from Trump’s restored presidency.

The Iranian regime’s desperate blame of foreign interference cannot hide its own brutality against citizens demanding basic economic relief and political freedom. Trump’s warning signals America’s return to principled leadership that stands with those fighting tyranny.
