As the mullahs' regime in Tehran unleashes a bloodbath on its own people, with bodies piled in morgues and families desperately searching through them, President Donald Trump has delivered a thunderous message to the brave Iranian patriots risking everything for freedom: the United States stands ready to act.
The death toll from Iran's brutal crackdown on nationwide anti-regime protests continues to climb sharply.
Human rights groups report thousands killed, with independent estimates ranging from over 2,000 confirmed deaths to as high as 12,000–20,000 amid internet blackouts and communication suppression.
Iranian officials have acknowledged around 2,000 deaths, while more than 10,000–16,000 protesters have been arrested. The wave of executions has begun, with 26-year-old Erfan Soltani sentenced to death without a meaningful trial or defense, scheduled for imminent execution.
The U.S. State Department condemned the action, stating: "The world must not remain silent in the face of the Islamic Republic regime’s nefarious actions."
On Tuesday, Trump posted forcefully on Truth Social, "Iranian Patriots, KEEP PROTESTING – TAKE OVER YOUR INSTITUTIONS!!! Save the names of the killers and abusers. They will pay a big price. I have cancelled all meetings with Iranian Officials until the senseless killing of protesters STOPS. HELP IS ON ITS WAY. MIGA!!!"
Trump has imposed a 25% tariff on any nation doing business with Iran to economically isolate the regime.
U.S. officials urged American citizens to leave Iran immediately due to escalating unrest and repression.
Meanwhile, Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf escalated anti-American rhetoric, vowing that U.S. forces would be "burned by the fire of Iran’s defenders" and insisting, "We are your opponent."
The clerical tyrants in Tehran thought they could crush the spirit of a people starved by inflation, a collapsing rial, and daily misery. They miscalculated.
These are not mere demonstrations; they are the death knell of a hated theocracy.
Trump has made clear: the killers will pay dearly, and help for those fighting for a free Iran is coming. The mullahs' days are numbered. The patriots will prevail.
