United States President Donald Trump on January 13 told protesters in Iran that “help is on its way” and urged them to keep protesting, as violence in the Islamic Republic reaches a new peak with reports of thousands of casualties.
“Iranian Patriots, KEEP PROTESTING – TAKE OVER YOUR INSTITUTIONS!!! Save the names of the killers and abusers. They will pay a big price,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform, in what amounts to a call on the protesters to oust the government.
Trump also said that he has “cancelled all meetings with Iranian Officials until the senseless killing of protesters STOPS.”
“HELP IS ON ITS WAY,” he added.
Similar remarks by Trump have directly caused serious escalation of violence in Iran since the protests there first broke out late in December, with him vowing more than once to punish the Iranian government if protesters are killed by security forces.
In its latest report, the U.S. -based Human Rights Activists News Agency said that at least 1,850 people, both civilians and security personnel, have been killed and at least 16,784 have been arrested so far. However, an Iranian official told Reuters earlier in the day that around 2,000 people were killed, blaming “terrorists” for the deaths of civilians and security personnel.
An even higher estimate was attributed to the Israeli Mossad agency, which reportedly informed the U.S. that 5,000 people have been killed in the protests across Iran, according to an American official quoted by Israel’s Channel 12 news.
Meanwhile, Israel’s Channel 13 reported that the Israeli Cabinet has been briefed by the intelligence that approximately 500 Iranian security personnel have been killed in the protests.
The exact toll remains unknown, but it is very clear from all sources, including Israeli intelligence, that both protestors and security personnel are being killed.
Iranian authorities more than once reported attacks by gunmen who attacked both sides, and said that some of those arrested were linked to the Mossad.

On January 13, the authorities even announced the seizure of “spying and sabotage electronics,” including Starlink satellite internet terminals and mobile signal boosters. This comes amid an internet blackout in the country that began at least five days earlier.
Considering the severity of the situation, Iran didn’t take Trump’s latest remarks lightly. National security chief Ali Larijani called Trump one of the “main killers of the people of Iran” in a post on X. He also named Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as the second “killer” on his list.
Trump later, however, doubled down on his threats to Iran, advising American citizens who remain in the Islamic Republic to leave.
“I would say it’s not a bad idea to get out,” Trump said when questioned whether American citizens or citizens of U.S. allies should leave Iran.
Several recent reports that Trump was presented with options including strikes, in addition to others involving cyber operation options and psychological campaigns to disrupt Iranian command structures, communications and state-run media.
Trump’s latest remarks, and the fact that Israel has reportedly placed its air defenses on high alert, suggest that the U.S. could attack soon.
A single attack will not, however, bring down the Iranian government. Despite the high level of violence, the current protests in the Islamic Republic are still smaller in scale than the Mahsa Amini protests of 2022, and can’t be compared to the mass protest of 2009, which were called at the time the Green Movement.
Trump may be planning to attack Iran, only to engage in talks with its government right after. But such a maneuver is not guaranteed to succeed.
Even after the 12-day June war with Israel, the Iranian government refused to accept any of the U.S. key demands with regard to its nuclear and missile program.
That’s being said, an attack by the U.S. could weaken the government enough to encourage more violence, and with the Iranian opposition deeply fragmented along ethnic and ideological lines, the Islamic Republic could easily slip into a destructive civil war.

long live the ayatollah may he reign supreme over anarchists and autocratic despots as the democratically elected leader of the free world .hallelujah praise the lord .amen .
the internet is now being restored. joo whore musk smuggled in 40,000 starlink terminals but they were jammed so this astroturf joo revolt promptly collapsed. trumpy threw a temper tantrum right on cue and imposed more tariffs on china. oh dear, no more rare earth for trumpy. here’s another fine mess the jooz have gotten me into!!!
keep up dipstick trump’s and then gave access to all of the rare minerals they’ve planned in accessing into the future for years it’s marketing you twit .demand and supply profit maximization required by corporate law

iran is broke, iran is also a religious dictatorship, and even though millions are reportedly on the march, the kalashnikov is still the tool of power, control, and authority, and thats a lot of dead people in the picture, providing the picture is authentic

death to khomeini ! death to the dictator! death to the islamic ☪️ancers ! down with the regime!
zioshit convicted ped✡️files.
millions are on the march in support of the iranian leadership and against the joo puppets and traitors trying to destroy their country. wail as many crocodile tears as you like as you cheer on the gaza genocide. nobody is fooled by the same tired old joo lies any more.
rumble stiltskins rhetorics as if we don’t know those channels manipulations satan the great deceiver faster of all liars .
this is the same tired old regime change playbook by the jooz and their amerikunt whores. incite violence and orchestrate terrorism inside a target country. wail crocodile tears about repression of “peaceful protestors” , with the joo media peddling lies and grossly inflated figures about casualties. with a puppet whore like gweedo or marchado or some puppet relative of the late unlamented shah begging for their country to be bombed and invaded
so that they can ride in on the back of an amerikunt tank and be installed in power. we’ve seen it all before, in one country after another. the jooz and their whores are nothing if not predictable.
name one empire ruled by a jew .or an american .go on name them .
idiot. we’re talking about a religious clown dictator doing a cold blood killing spree on iranian children, women and youth and elderly!
death to the dictator! death to khomeini
no you are idiot, you fag.
bot calling the kettle .
the massacre of thousands of iranians by the religious clown of tehran is comparable to tianamen massacre on steroids. iranians will not rest until khomeini is dragged and paraded his dead body publicly in the streets of tehran

“similar remarks by trump have directly caused serious escalation of violence in iran…”
nope! the gov’t doing the killing caused the serious escalation.
so drumpf has, in writing on an official channel, incited an insurrection. that legally makes the united states of america a terrorist state.
nope, he is not, according to us empire, they are the saviors of the free world, protector of western values, the light of the earth. always according to hollywood movies only, while the us empire expands continuously to the east corrupting the remaining of the ancient world. guess iran 🇮🇷 is a wall against the westerners and the zionist big nose greedy brethren.
now you’re being completely unbelievable if america ever wanted to conquer the world it could easily have done so by now .
he said if the iran kill peaceful protestors then he would intervene but stopped at using sanctions instead .he didn’t start any if it he inherited the mess from obama and biden .he created the abraham accords an historical victory that they can’t wait to destroy .obviously .
s-f dropped both of my comments to this post for reporting “iran crippled starlink and why the rest of the world should worry” s-f is pro-trump pedo and probably pro poutine who loves the ***!… let’s finish this iran -it’s time to remove the settlers from the levant -once and for all!…
no one’s going to believe your attempts at disingenuous articulations swampy .
what a horrible massacre is being made. the photos are talking to us about the life of so many young people broken and wasted.
they make their own choices .always trying to be free .
guess united states is in serious economical troubles and internal issues because their president “chump” is only taking about conquering weaker countries. yes, we are going to take venezuelan oil, yes we need to destroy iran… us empire is so aggressive because they are on big serious troubles.
i am khomeini . yes i mass massacred 12 thousand iranians in four days.
you’re a piece of work .not very well made .probably chinese mass production
you’re but bullshit.
