President Trump delivers his strongest message yet to Iran’s murderous regime, canceling all diplomatic meetings and directly calling on Iranian patriots to overthrow their oppressive government while promising American support.
Story Highlights
- Trump cancels all meetings with Iranian officials until regime stops killing protesters
- President urges Iranian patriots to “TAKE OVER YOUR INSTITUTIONS” and promises “HELP IS ON ITS WAY”
- Iranian regime has killed at least 646 protesters with death toll potentially reaching 2,000
- Administration weighs military options including airstrikes while imposing 25% tariffs on Iran-trading nations
Trump Takes Decisive Stand Against Iranian Brutality
President Donald Trump announced on January 13, 2026, via Truth Social that he had canceled all scheduled meetings with Iranian officials until the Islamic regime ends its violent crackdown on freedom-seeking protesters.
The President’s message was clear and uncompromising: “Iranian Patriots, KEEP PROTESTING – TAKE OVER YOUR INSTITUTIONS!” followed by the promise that “HELP IS ON ITS WAY.”
This represents the strongest U.S. presidential support for Iranian dissidents in decades, marking a dramatic escalation in America’s confrontation with the terrorist-supporting regime.
The timing of Trump’s announcement comes as Iranian protests enter their third week, with the regime’s violent response reaching unprecedented levels. At least 646 protesters have been confirmed killed by Iranian security forces, though Reuters reports from unnamed sources suggest the death toll may exceed 2,000.
The regime has also imposed a total internet blackout for five days to prevent footage of their brutality from reaching the outside world, demonstrating their desperation to hide their crimes from international scrutiny.
Military Options on the Table as Diplomacy Ends
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed that President Trump is actively considering military intervention, stating he is “not afraid” to use force against Iran. The administration is weighing multiple options including targeted airstrikes, cyber operations, and covert assistance to protesters.
This marks a significant departure from the failed diplomatic approaches of previous administrations, with Trump making clear that all options remain on the table to stop the massacre of innocent Iranians seeking basic human rights.

Trump has also implemented immediate economic pressure, announcing a 25% tariff on any country that continues trading with Iran. This decisive action aims to economically isolate the regime and cut off funding sources that enable their oppression.
The President’s approach combines moral clarity with strategic pressure, refusing to reward the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism with diplomatic legitimacy while they murder their own citizens in the streets.
Iranian Regime Faces Potential Collapse
International observers are noting signs that the Iranian regime may be entering its final phase. German Chancellor Friedrich Merz stated this could be the “final days and weeks” of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s rule, as the unprecedented violence signals the regime’s desperation.
Even Iranian officials seem to recognize the gravity of their situation, with Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi warning of readiness for military confrontation with the United States, suggesting they understand Trump’s resolve differs from past administrations.
The current uprising represents the largest anti-regime protests since 2022, fueled by economic collapse, currency devaluation, and decades of political repression.
Unlike previous administrations that offered mere rhetoric, Trump’s direct call for institutional takeover and promises of assistance provide Iranian freedom fighters with unprecedented American backing.
This approach aligns with core conservative principles of supporting liberty against tyranny and refusing to appease America’s enemies while they commit atrocities against their own people.
