Back in January, President Donald Trump told the Iranian people, "Help is on the way." In February, he delivered on that help. Donald Trump did what presidents before him have not: told the brutal Iranian regime that, after 47 years, the American people have had enough. Iranians all over the world were ecstatic and took to the streets to celebrate. But since then, there has not been a lot of discussion of or messaging to the Iranian people, who continue to live under a violent, dictatorial regime.
🚨 IRANIANS CHEERED WITH US.
VIDEO RELEASED FROM INSIDE IRAN

Now, a new video put out by the State Department goes over the heads of Iranian dictators and speaks directly to the Iranian people, saying to them, "The Iranian people are not the problem. A leadership that fears openness and chooses confrontation over opportunity is the problem." The video is slated to run on Thursday on the Persian-language outlets Iran International and BBC Persian. The video will likely be viewed as support for the Iranian people, as much of the conversation regarding Iran has been centered on negotiations with the regime.
I stand with the IRANIAN PEOPLE.
They were willing to water the Tree of Liberty with the blood of 40,000+ of their nation’s patriots.
The least we can do is FINISH THE FREAKING JOB ALREADY!!!
The Iranian People deserve LIBERTY.

The timing of the video comes as the regime is restoring internet access after an 88-day blackout, which began after anti-government protests began earlier this year and continued after the start of the U.S.-Iran conflict. However, some internet restrictions remain in place. The video is narrated in Farsi, telling the Iranian people that they are capable of returning their country to prosperity and stressing the ideas of freedom, opportunity, and self-determination. It states in part:
"When Americans see Iran, we see a great people with a rich history and a generation full of talent and potential. Today, millions of Iranians want what people everywhere want: opportunity, stability, a chance to speak freely, and live without fear. Iran has the talent, resources, and educated young people to be among the world's most prosperous nations. The future of Iran should be shaped by its people, not by intimidation or fear. It should be built by the people themselves. Iran's story is still being written. Its best chapter may still lie ahead. Speaking directly to the people of Iran is important because our disagreement has never been with them, it has always been with a regime that prioritizes funding terror and pursuing a nuclear weapon over the aspirations, prosperity, and freedom of the Iranian people. By speaking directly to them, we're making clear that America stands with the people of Iran."
In March, Secretary of State Marco Rubio echoed President Trump by saying, "We hope the Iranian people can overthrow the government." Currently, however, the opposition is divided among monarchists, reformists, ethnic movements, and others. But one of the most popular opposition leaders in Iran and among Iranian-Americans is the son of the former Shah, Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi. Pahlavi has a detailed plan to return Iran to freedom, and many Iranians all over the world believe he is the man who can do it. In the meantime, negotiations between the U.S. and Iran are ongoing, but the regime continues to execute its own people and violate the ceasefire agreement.
The Iranian people must bring the opposition factions together, and they need the means to overthrow the regime. But the State Department video is an encouraging message that is long overdue, and one that the Iranian people need to hear.
Because he is the ONE & ONLY real voice of Iranians inside and outside the country.

So, WTF?
I constantly pray that the Iranian people can rid themselves of this murderous regime and become free and prosperous. I hope and pray we do everything in our power to make this happen.
MIPA!
M ake

A gain
So.... let’s get it on. There must be thousands upon thousands of Persians, Kurds, who are organized and armed and ready to avenge the death of the populace and deal justice to the mullahs and IRGC. I could be wrong because it doesn’t seem to be happening.
Liz, xxqqzz, and AAABEST will find this offensive and pro-Zionist or some such, along with TimberRattler and his ilk.
Trump gave the Kurds weapons to arm the Iranian people, but they kept the weapon for themselves.
What is happening to Iran is historic. Never before has an Islamic country had a revolt against Islam itself. What changed? The Internet . This is why the regime shut it down. It was not only the origin of the revolt but the backbone of the newly formed opposition.
The celebrations outside of Iran and the burnt down mosques inside Iran attest to this as a revolt against Islam. The only time Islam has lost territory has been when outside forces have been victorious.
Revolutions based on paradigm shifts tend to spread when successful. The American Revolution spread into Europe. This could be the war that eventually burns down the whole merciless Islamic Colonization Mafia. Are we witnessing the beginning of the end of this cancerous 14 century long plague of ruthless evil ?
The ultimate weakness with Islam is that it cannot handle the truth.
Thanks to the Internet Mozlems all over the World are exposed to views that are normally censored. I believe this rejection of Islam in Iran is the beginning of the end of Islam because it can no longer support itself with lies.
I get it, but Iranians don’t want that name and haven’t for thousands of years, actually.
Yeah, confusing.
Unfortunately, as the negotiations drag on, more & more Iranian people who had previously cheered Pres. Trump, are now confused and have grown to distrust him. They feel he’s legitimizing the murdering regime & IRGC. Trump told them help was on the way and that when he was done the country would be theirs for the taking. He said it would be over in weeks.
The average person is in worse condition now than before.
The arrests and executions continue and now more people are living in poverty ...
Unfortunately the Shah was ill w cancer when he was toppled. He had no fight left in him. Or he would have routed the commies, “students” and Twelver kooks. Of course these Twelver apocalyptic psycho killers killed 10000 leftists to take power for the last 47 years.

In the meantime, negotiations between the U.S. and Iran are ongoing, but the regime continues to execute its own people and violate the ceasefire agreement.>>>>>>>>>>>
So, WTF? >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
So do you think we have a “need to know” on details about the joint operations in Iran by Mossad and the CIA ?
Everybody accuses the IRGC revolutionary government of Iran of stalling for time.
What do you think Bibi and Trump are doing in this quiet time. Twiddling their thumbs ? Not likely.
Do you think that the Peshmerga is simply eating popcorn and watching? Not likely.
When the uprising of Iranians against the IRGC happens, it will be swift, brutal and unforgiving.
Here’s a scary thought. Maybe there were never very many Iranians who wanted to overthrow the theocracy to begin with. They were just loud and visible. Maybe the ones that were are all dead now, and there’s no longer anybody available to “rise up” and fight for Persians.
I don’t think they’re armed. And I don’t see how they could be provided with weapons without the thug regime being aware.
They’re wary, of course
Perhaps you could post to the subject instead of posting like a toddler.
You named people and didn’t ping them.
Let the Persians finish the job.
You are usually a childish name calling poster yourself. Most people know that so it doesn’t surprise me you like that type of thing. 🙄🤣
