The Iranian regime is showing clear signs of desperation as it deploys foreign fighters against its own people in a last-ditch effort to crush a massive 12-day uprising that has protesters literally renaming streets after President Donald Trump.
Unlike previous Iranian protests that fizzled out under brutal crackdowns, this rebellion appears different—and the aging mullahs in Tehran know it. Government offices are reportedly in panic mode as the regime struggles to contain nationwide demonstrations that have taken on a distinctly pro-American, pro-Trump character.
The decision to bring in foreign mercenaries represents a dramatic escalation and possible admission of weakness. As social media observer @TheGreatLander astutely noted: "Could the regime's attempt (or intention) to bring in foreign fighters be a sign that the regime's internal forces are starting to crack?"
Raw footage circulating on social media shows heroic Iranians battling regime forces across multiple cities including Tehran and Khorramabad, with protesters facing tear gas, beatings, and live ammunition. One viral post described the scenes as "Iranians clashing with regime forces—shouting for liberty amid tear gas, beatings, and bullets."
Trump's Influence Reaches Tehran Streets
What makes this uprising particularly significant is the open embrace of President Trump by Iranian protesters. Streets are being renamed in honor of America's 47th President, a powerful symbol of rejection not just of the mullah regime, but of the globalist establishment that has coddled Iran for decades.
This isn't the tired "diplomacy" approach that failed under previous administrations. The Iranian people see Trump's America First policies and strong stance against the regime as inspiration for their own fight for freedom.
The regime's reliance on foreign fighters—likely drawn from their proxy networks across the Middle East—suggests their domestic security forces may be wavering. When a government can't trust its own people to suppress its own people, that's a regime on borrowed time.
As these brave Iranians risk everything for liberty, one has to wonder: will President Trump's second-term foreign policy finally give these freedom fighters the support they deserve?
