Trump backs Iranian people, warning tyrants as Israel’s resolve against terror-state repression proves justified..
US President Donald Trump issued a stark warning to Iran’s rulers, vowing decisive American retaliation if the regime escalates killings of peaceful protesters. Speaking on Fox News with Sean Hannity, Trump said Tehran has a long record of gunning down unarmed civilians and executing dissidents—and made clear those crimes will carry severe consequences.
Trump emphasized that Iran’s leadership has been put “on notice,” stressing that any renewed campaign of mass shootings, hangings, or prison killings would trigger a powerful US response. He reaffirmed his support for Iranians demanding freedom, underscoring that America stands with the people—not the regime that brutalizes them.
The warning was echoed earlier in an interview with Hugh Hewitt, where Trump reiterated that the Islamic Republic would “pay hell” if security forces deliberately massacre demonstrators. As protests swell, the regime has responded by cutting internet access and communications nationwide—classic authoritarian tactics to hide repression.
Exiled Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi condemned Tehran’s blackout and thanked Trump for drawing a red line against state violence. He urged European leaders to abandon silence, restore communications, and actively support the Iranian people’s right to be heard.
Mass demonstrations have erupted across Iran, including in Tehran, with crowds chanting against Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. Protesters have also toppled statues of Qassem Soleimani, symbolically rejecting the regime’s terror legacy tied to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
Supporters of Israel say the moment exposes a shared truth: regimes that export terror abroad also crush freedom at home. Israel’s firm stance against Iran’s aggression, they argue, aligns with the Iranian people’s struggle to dismantle a violent theocracy and reclaim their future.
