The protests continue to increase as President Trump recommits to the people in Iran.
Gordan Chang shares: “The free world has come to the aid of Iran’s people. Now, nothing can save the mullahs’ regime.”

Here is a video of a crowd in Tehran last night. It is huge. The Iranian people sense that this time it’s different.
🚨🇮🇷 Tehran tonight looks unreal. Every clip from every street shows crowds so massive that you cannot see where they begin or end. Reports highlight huge turnouts in Tajrish and Meydan Ghods as the night unfolds.

The Persian flag is rising. One brave soul waves the flag of Iran from days prior to the radical Islamists taking over.
A hero in Hamedan creates an unforgettable scene, raising the Lion and Sun flag.
This is our true national flag.
The one that terrifies the regime.It is a declaration of war against the Islamic Republic.

The people of Iran have protested the Islamic terrorists running their country before, and were ignored by the rest of the world, and those who protested were severely punished and killed.
This time it feels different, which is most likely because of the words and actions of President Trump. Only hours before the capture and arrest of Venezuelan terrorist leader Maduro, President Trump shared a message to the leadership of the terrorist Islamist regime in 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 the events in Venezuela, only hours after President Trump shared the above message.
President Trump echoed this message at the State Department’s account in Persian.

Two days later, on January 4, President Trump shared another message at the State Department in Persian.
NOW: U.S. State Dept in Persian just posted:
“President Trump is a man of action.
If you didn’t know, now you know.” pic.twitter.com/WqZOnRzf8P

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.
Now the whole country of Iran is standing up. The crowd in Tehran reported yesterday was 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.

President Trump shared again yesterday that Iran is in big trouble and that if the regime starts killing their people we will hit them very hard where it hurts.
.@POTUS: “Iran’s in big trouble. It looks to me that the people are taking over certain cities that nobody thought were really possible… We’re watching… I made the statement very strongly that if they start killing people like they have in the past, we will get involved.” pic.twitter.com/99HtskvGPf
