President Donald Trump shared messages of support with Iranian protesters in Tehran on Saturday.
He wrote on Twitter.
To the brave, long-suffering people of Iran: I’ve stood with you since the beginning of my Presidency, and my Administration will continue to stand with you. We are following your protests closely, and are inspired by your courage.
Trump wrote the message on Twitter in English and Farsi as hundreds of Iranians protested the regime in Tehran.

به مردم شجاع و رنج کشیده ایران: من از ابتدای دوره ریاست جمهوریم با شما ایستادهام و دولت من همچنان با شما خواهد ایستاد. ما اعتراضات شما را از نزدیک دنبال می کنیم. شجاعت شما الهام بخش است.

The president also pressured the Iranian government to allow human rights groups to monitor the protests.
“There can not be another massacre of peaceful protesters, nor an internet shutdown,” he wrote. “The world is watching.”
The government of Iran must allow human rights groups to monitor and report facts from the ground on the ongoing protests by the Iranian people. There can not be another massacre of peaceful protesters, nor an internet shutdown. The world is watching.

Be very afraid.
God bless and protect those protestors and President Trump.
Make Iran Persia Again.
Obama missed his chance to show support for the rebels in Syria years ago. Valerie did not approve of any regime change. Mr. Trump embraces the opportunity to connect and reassure.
I’m glad Trump has some contacts fluent in Farsi who are trustworthy enough to translate his message.
Hopefully, it’s more than one person doing it. They can check on each other for veracity.
Could be witnessing a big change among the masses. Trump knee-capped the regime by taking out their chief terrorist, so the people see an opportunity to FINISH THE JOB.
If the Iranian police forces refuse to violently suppress the protests, it will signal the beginning of the end of the mullah’s reign.
Suppressive regimes can only exist where there is a strong police state (Soviet Union, East Germany, Cuba, North Korea, Poland, etc). If the government agencies used to suppress the people cannot maintain order, protests will spread throughout the country and the government will fail.
Only one side has guns.
That ain’t good.
And the words from Trump are Great but we can offer no military assistance.
So they better get guns and get em fast.
Take em off dead policemen or dead soldiers.
But get em.
What would be cool is if Americans took to the streets against our own leftist-ideologue-theocrats and the clinging, grasping deep-state apparatchiks in Washington DC.
We should air drop them guns and ammo
not that we should hurt anyone but the Mussolini treatment for Pelosi Nader and Schiff would not bother me too much.
There’s be no pee to spare if any of them should spontaneously combust....
Great response, Mr. President! And keep up the MAXIMUM pressure...
The people of Iran are damned courageous! They are literally taking their lives in the hands by openly protesting- There is the very real threat that their government will kill them-
and it’s Awesome that they walked AROUND the downed American flag, refusing to step on it-
Trump’s message is apparently the most popular tweet ever made in Farsi. Democrats and their MSM lapdogs may not be willing to admit it, but the Iranian government does not speak for it’s people - Trump does.
[[Only one side has guns.
That ain’t good.]]
Which makes it all the more remarkably brave of the protestors to go out and openly defy their government- True courage on their parts-
If our CIA weren’t so busy trying to overthrow a duly elected President they’d be airdropping pallets of AK rifles and ammunition into some of the more restive provinces over there.
L
We Americans should be in the streets protesting our government like the Persians.
I’m not sure how the ruling class there monitors communications. What are the chances that the protesters will read Trump’s tweet, or even hear about it? I hope they are aware. Rudy said POTUS needed to do this when Judge Jeanine interviewed him last night.
