To all of our friends around the world, Under the yoke of the Islamic Republic, Iran is identified in your minds with terrorism, extremism, and poverty. The real Iran is a different Iran. A beautiful, peace-loving, and flourishing Iran. It is the Iran that existed before the Islamic Republic, and it is the Iran that will rise again from its ashes the day the Islamic Republic falls. So let me be clear about how a free Iran will act toward its neighbors and the world, after the fall of this regime. In security and foreign policy, Iran’s nuclear military program will end. Support for terrorist groups will cease immediately. A free Iran will work with regional and global partners to confront terrorism, organized crime, drug trafficking, and extremist Islamism. Iran will act as a friend and a stabilizing force in the region. And it will be a responsible partner in global security. In diplomacy, relations with the United States will be normalized and our friendship with America and her people will be restored. The State of Israel will be recognized immediately. We will pursue the expansion of the Abraham Accords into the Cyrus accords bringing together a free Iran, Israel, and the Arab world. A new chapter will begin, grounded in mutual recognition, sovereignty, and national interest. In energy, Iran holds some of the largest oil and gas reserves in the world. A free Iran will become a reliable energy supplier to the free world. Policy-making will be transparent. Iran’s actions will be responsible. Prices will be predictable. In transparency and governance, Iran will adopt and enforce international standards. Money laundering will be confronted. Organized corruption will be dismantled. Public institutions will answer to the people. In the economy, Iran is one of the world’s last great untapped markets. Our population is educated, modern, with a diaspora that connects it to the four corners of the world. A democratic Iran will open its economy to trade, investment, and innovation. And Iran will seek to invest in the world. Opportunity will replace isolation. This is not an abstract vision. It is a practical one. Grounded in national interest, stability, and cooperation. To achieve this, now is the time to stand with the Iranian people. The fall of the Islamic Republic and the establishment of a secular, democratic government in Iran will not only restore dignity to my people, it will benefit the region and the world. A free Iran will be a force for peace. For prosperity. And for partnership.

Bad vibes about all of this …. Feels like a trap!

I think Trump would be doing the world a favor if the bombed all the Islamic fundi leadership.

Kinda like if we'd have done that to Hitler and his leadership in WWII.

You know, regime change in the Middle East has failed too many times for us to just take out the leaders.
What we can do, and are probably already doing, is covertly support the uprisings.

We've been burned too many times. The thing to do is support them until there's a tipping point and a recognizable faction to take control.
Then you're talking.
Until then, there's not gonna be any big event.

I can't verify this, but listening to an Iranian activist she said that the Iranian people have managed to talk the military/police of the regime to convince them to back down, which they say many have backed down. She also said that the regime has hired mercenaries/terrorists from other countries to kill the people and she says the last death count was at 2,000 which was five days ago, but she now fears it may be up to 12,000 and that is why the regime cut the internet so the world would not see. One short video shows people standing/praying beside body bags, everywhere, but I can't verify it's a real video.

What can the U.S. do to help? Send in boots on the ground to look like those other mercenaries/assassins and take them out? But bombing them will only end up killing more civilians, how can it not. Going in there with airpower will kill U.S. men and women. 

Will putting in a puppet leader really help the people in the long run? Or will it happen all over again in the future? When has what the people wanted there ever mattered?

Are the people there at the point of fight or die, so it doesn't really matter at this point? I don't know.

Tragic.

According to the Washington Post, Israel and Iran have reportedly struck a non-aggression pact through Russian back-channel diplomacy. Under the agreement, neither side would attack the other, with the U.S. peripherally involved in the arrangement.

As well, it is rumored that the US hit Iran with a special type of weapon called an HPM BLOOM... that is, Military (High-Power Microwave): It can saturate a target area with a sudden cloud or burst of RF energy. Think of it as the microwave equivalent of a shotgun blast knocking out the all electronics and power in a wide area. 

Plus a recent Iranian ship was sunk...  The Iranian-flagged cargo ship Rona sank in the Caspian Sea on Wednesday, January 14, 2026.  It was supposedly carrying weapons to Russia.

It's strange isn't it? Trump just saying he will do something and not doing it.

Well they [Iran] apparently put executions on hold? Plus, he knows if USA gos in they will flip against USA.

Who really knows what's going on with the people there? I don't trust governments rhetoric especially with dictatorships.

[Waterglass]

Trump does something, he's a dictator and world police.

Trump does nothing and he's a TACO.

 

What is it will all these former DOJ Women Prosecuters telling US Military to not follow orders if breaks the law?  So who decides law? So why is it they dont speak out aginst CHILD TRAFFICKING and DRUG DEALERS and ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS. 

Does Hesbellah cntrol the US MSM? Hesbellh landed in Mexico and South America in the early 1980's with China and Russia connections through Cuba and Venezuela. We are seeing the chickens come to roost now in 2025 and 2026.
