Trump cancels negotiations, tells Iranian protestors ‘Help is on its way’ 

President Donald Trump said he’s canceled talks with Iranian officials Tuesday and told the country’s protestors “Help is on its way,” signaling a potential use of force against the Islamic nation, the Associated Press reported.

In a social media post Tuesday morning, Trump urged anti-government protesters to keep fighting.

“Iranian Patriots, KEEP PROTESTING – TAKE OVER YOUR INSTITUTIONS!!!” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “Save the names of the killers and abusers. They will pay a big price. I have cancelled all meetings with Iranian Officials until the senseless killing of protesters STOPS. HELP IS ON ITS WAY.” 

Trump, who ordered a successful strike deep into Iran in June to cripple its nuclear capability, is fresh off the successful extraction of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro on Jan. 3 to face narco-terrorism charges.  

He had already threatened to strike the Islamic Republic but was attempting to negotiate with Iranian officials, AP reported.

Now that he’s ended negotiations, and at least 2,000 people have died in the crackdown on the widespread protests, Trump may make good on his threats of military action against the religious regime. 

Iran has been an Islamic Republic since a revolution overthrew its secular monarch in 1979, turning the country staunchly against the United States and the West. Many Iranians fled abroad after the takeover, and there is a burgeoning anti-government movement in the country.

The nation is known as a massive funder of Islamic terrorism and anti-Israel groups such as Hamas and Hezbollah.

Trump on Monday said he would institute a 25% tariff on countries that do business with Iran, which include China, Russia, Turkey and Brazil, but Tuesday’s post represents a shift in tone.

The president is reportedly meeting today with Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Dan Caine to discuss the U.S. response to Iran.

Among Iranians living outside the country, there is support for removing the current regime.

A. Ari Aramesh, a lawyer and political commentator, told GB News, “The US will be better off, the free world will be better off, and the Iranian people will be better off,” if the regime falls.
