President Trump Was Their When Iranians Needed Him the Most
The Iranian people love President Trump. He is the only one who listened to their cries.
President Trump warned the Islamic regime in Iran not to kill innocent protesters, but they ignored him. Now the evil Islamic terrorist regime is destroyed.
In January, we reported on how the Iranian people are tired of living under the murderous Islamic regime; they were protesting like never before to gain their country back.
The people of Iran had protested against the Islamic terrorists running their country before, and were ignored by the West and severely punished and killed.
This time, President Trump’s words and actions on January 3rd gave them hope. Only hours before the capture and arrest 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.
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.

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.
Next the whole country of Iran stood up against the regime. 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 this time period, 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.

The protests won’t stop.

Here is a recent confession of an Iranian and her position on President Trump. Iranians are behind the President and want the regime gone for good.
I should start with a confession. Over the past few months, as Trump came under wave after wave of attacks and criticism about Iran, I kept defending his leadership. A lot of people told me my trust was blind. Set aside the ones who said I had joined a cult, or that I was kissing his ass.
My trust and loyalty are not blind. He earned my confidence, and not recently, years ago, in ways a lot of people were not even paying attention to.
But it is also true that my loyalty to him comes from somewhere deeper than an argument. On days like this, 6 years ago, he put me in his debt for the rest of my life.
That was when Iranians were at our most helpless and most alone, when it felt as if our voice reached nowhere. Trump heard the Iranian people. He did not only hear us. He said it out loud. That had a consequence people still underestimate: it forced the world to see that we are prisoners in our own country, and that we are not the regime.
The cynics still answer that he only wants to use Iranians to topple the regime. I do not see it that way. It is mutual. He truly believes in Iranians’ bravery and strength, and he treats them as partners against a shared enemy. He does not see my people as the oppressed waiting to be saved. He treats us with the dignity and respect we deserve. He sees the potential, and he offers support.
His posts in Persian, directed at the people, and the way he backed that stance in his first term are why I trust that he is not going to abandon Iranians and settle with this criminal regime.
That is the rational part.
But what took my heart was more personal: Navid Afkari.
Navid was a young wrestler, simple and kind, the sort of person who reminds you of your own little brothers or cousins. From regime’s prison he sent a voice note that, six years later, I still cannot bear to hear all the way through. He began: “To the noble people of Iran”. He said he was innocent. He said the regime’s thugs were looking for necks for their noose. He was telling the truth.
After the criminal regime shot down a passenger plane with two missiles in January 2020, and tried to hang it on Trump, the country exploded in rage. The regime was afraid of another popular uprising, so it started to intimidate people with executions. Navid was one of the necks they chose.
We had no one. We were alone and desperate. We beat on every door. We lived on Twitter and kept the hashtags going because that was what we had. We needed someone to stop the crime, make it expensive. Europe? Amnesty? UN? The human-rights activists? Radio silence. Nothing.
Who posted for Navid?
President Trump.
The most powerful man on earth could have threatened the criminals in the regime. He could have issued orders to men who did not even deserve to be addressed by him. Instead he asked, with humility. He said he would greatly appreciate it if the leaders of Iran would spare that young man’s life and not execute him.
Navid was a wrestler. Dana White, the head of the UFC, pleaded for him and later said Trump had also pushed behind the scenes.
That night I cried for hours. I thought, at last, someone had heard us. I thought they would not dare murder him with Trump’s spotlight on the case.
They murdered him. They hanged Navid. It still hurts.
Today is the anniversary.
Trump has mentioned him again and again through these years. When he says “the wrestler,” I hear in his voice the same grief I hear in my own people when they mention Navid’s name.
For @realDonaldTrump, Iran, and the people of Iran, are not only politics to him. Politics is part of it. Politics is a tool for him. It is not the whole of it. He has a heart of gold for those who deserve it. For the noble people of Iran.
Sooner than people think, Trump will be a guest of @ShahbanouFarah in a free Iran, at Saadabad Palace. Mark my words.
And Navid, we will honor his memory forever.
