“Senator Lindsey Graham, a South Carolina Republican and frequent critic of Iran's Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's regime, posted a message on X in support of the widespread protests happening in the Mideast nation and assuring the protesters that President Donald Trump has "noticed" their resistance. "When President Trump says Make Iran Great Again, it means the protestors in Iran must prevail over the ayatollah," Graham wrote, in part. "To all who are sacrificing in Iran, God bless. Help is on the way."

I don’t know why Graham would go on X and say, “Help is on the way.” unless the Trump administration is going to do something to help the protesters imminently…..

I fear it’s not going to succeed and the administration will have egg on their faces.

It’s ultimately up to the Iranian military.

Unless the Mullahs are prepared to kill millions, I really think it may soon be over for them.

Has anyone seen any recent video coming out of there or has the IRG got them in a total blackout? I wonder if people can charge their phones.

Thankfully Trump will decide how to help and not Graham.

“I wonder if people can charge their phones.”

Yes, using their cars, though certain models may be limited, heh.

Help is on the way.

WTF Graham? It's bad if it isn't, but bad if it is and you're talking about it. STFU!

Even if that is true, why would Graham announce something like that?

Maybe the horse has already left the barn.
We just don’t know it yet.
Trump administration has been very secretive due to leaks.
We didn’t know about Maduro until they put it out to the press.
