President Trump Asks, “When Are the Iranian People Going to Rise Up and Fight?”
President Trump has done the total destruction of the Iranian air force, navy, economy and more. The terrorist Islamic regime is destroyed and barely hanging on.
President Trump shared this Truth social post on Tuesday night.
I’m not trying to force Iran to the bargaining table, as ABC Fake News reported. I couldn’t care less if they sign a worthless, to them, agreement. I like our position now much better, with almost total control of the Hormuz Strait, and their economy totally collapsing. They are just playing out the inevitable. When are the Iranian people going to rise up and fight? President DJT

The people in Iran were emboldened by President Trump’s statements at the same time he captured Venezuela’s former head of state. Hours before the capture of Venezuelan terrorist leader Maduro, President Trump shared a message to the Islamic Regime ruling over the people of 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 in early January.
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 in Persian at the State Department.

Next, the whole country of Iran was standing up. The crowds in Tehran became 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.

Over the first couple of weeks in January, the crowds grew to unimaginable sizes across the country –
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.

The Islamic regime running Iran ignored President Trump’s warning. The regime began shooting the protesters, and the people began fighting back. 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 became a war zone as the murderous Islamic regime was losing control.
IRAN IS A WAR ZONE — AND THE REGIME IS LOSING CONTROL
A man inside Iran just spoke to Fox News using Starlink — one of the only ways the truth is getting out. (Thanks to Elon Musk who provided this free service to all Iranian citizens when their communications was cut off)… pic.twitter.com/czCzDiihFa— A Man Of Memes (@RickyDoggin) January 18, 2026
The people were fighting back. This video showed the people who were not silent.

The people were begging President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu to intervene and stop the regime from killing its own people.
Reminder:
Right before the blackout massacre in January, this Iranian man uploaded a video begging President Trump and Netanyahu to intervene in Iran. There were many other examples too.
This was inside Iran.

In the early morning of Saturday, February 28, President Trump showed the Iranian people and the world that he is a man of his word. He would not tolerate the Islamist regime in Iran killing Iranians. He began bombing Iran.
Since then, Iranians have expressed their deep gratitude for President Trump’s actions against the terrorist regime running the country.
President Trump,
As an Iranian-American, I want to sincerely thank you for standing with the Iranian people during such a painful chapter in our history♥️
So many families have suffered under the Islamic Republic for decades, and knowing that our voices are heard, that our… pic.twitter.com/i2Aem2hggc

It’s taken much longer than the people of Iran expected or hoped for, but the days of the Islamic regime running the country are limited.
But, >45 million Iranians WANT to be sharia…..NOW what?
