‘HELP IS ON ITS WAY’: Trump Drops Message for ‘Iranian Patriots’ — ‘KEEP PROTESTING

President Donald Trump just turned up the heat on Tehran — and it’s not subtle.

On Tuesday, Trump blasted out a TRUTH Social post calling for Iranians to “take over your institutions” amid nationwide unrest, urging protesters to keep up the pressure on the regime. He then canceled all meetings with Iranian officials until Tehran stops its violent crackdown on demonstrators.

In his fiery message, Trump called on citizens to save the names of the “killers and abusers” — warning they will “pay a big price.” And he didn’t stop there: “HELP IS ON ITS WAY,” Trump added, signaling strong U.S. backing for those challenging the clerical rulers.

Iran has been roiled by massive protests against economic hardship and political repression. Human rights monitors and officials report the death toll from the crackdown has climbed into the hundreds — potentially more than 2,000 — with more deaths feared as unrest continues.

The president’s cancellation of talks marks a sharp pivot from diplomacy — and aides say military options remain on the table if Iran’s violence against civilians doesn’t stop, even as Trump insists diplomacy is still a first choice.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters that diplomacy remains the first option, but that the president “has shown he’s unafraid to use military options if and when he deems necessary.”

“He certainly doesn’t want to see people being killed in the streets of Tehran. And unfortunately that’s something we are seeing right now,” she added.

World leaders and rights groups are sounding the alarm over Iran’s brutal response, with European nations considering further sanctions while urging Tehran to halt its deadly suppression.
