As an Iranian who has been closely following US politics from the outside over the past two years, let me tell you what was the reason behind the midterm election results in my opinion. Many were blaming the Iran war. The war in Iran was essentially a proxy war whose battlefield happened to be in Iran, but behind the scenes, a complex network of global powers was involved. China, Russia, Arab nations, the Democrats, and most importantly, the UK and European liberals were the lifelines and supporters of this regime, they had no intention of ever letting the Islamic regime in Iran go. The Islamic regime functioned as their tool, their financial cash cow, and their asset in the region, to entangle the US in the region and weaken it. Trump confronted and stood against this entire network. He knew the regime was holding the Strait of Hormuz hostage, but he had the courage to step up, take the risk, and push forward. In response, they had no tools left except the narrative war. A big sophisticated network started warmongering rhetoric and propaganda. Beyond the mainstream media, they even recruited right-wing podcasters like @TuckerCarlson , who suddenly flipped their positions and began spreading false narratives. One of their primary tactics was stoking antisemitism and exploiting societal sensitivities, repeating lies until they were accepted as absolute fact. They kept claiming this was Israel’s war, which it simply wasn’t. I grew up in Iran and was forced to chant "Death to America" every morning at school, but I never once said "Death to Israel." This regime was obsessed with US, you are just so lucky you got Israeli intelligence in keeping you updated on the threat. Without Israel, you may had learned about it after a nuclear 9/11. This was America’s war, a fight against a system that was being weaponized to undermine the United States. As for the necessity of this conflict, Trump had known for years (dating back to his first term) what needed to be done with this regime. Why this timing? Because the people of Iran rose up in January 2026. If you had paid attention, the military buildup started immediately afterward because any meaningful action had to tap into the energy and courage of the Iranian people. No one in the media tells you that the Islamic regime massacred 75,000 people in Iran, and suddenly that horrific atrocity became a non-issue, completely brushed aside by those who are obsessed with Gaza. The fearmongers constantly tried to claim that this is just another "forever war," when in reality, Trump was actively preventing a repeat of the Iraq and Afghanistan disasters. What happened back then was a sudden, uncalculated collapse with no plan for the aftermath, plunging those countries into chaos and trapping America in a quagmire. But this time, Trump was handling it in a very controlled manner, applying limited, gradual pressure to steadily weaken the regime so the people could take their country back themselves, without needing any American boots on the ground. They knew full well that there were no boots on the ground in Iran and that their claims were baseless, yet they intentionally made mountains out of molehills to distort public opinion and hence bail out the regime. But it changes nothing for @realDonaldTrump , he finishes what he starts, and this will become his lasting legacy. Sadly, by making these choices, Americans have deprived themselves of domestic progress Trump could have offered, and even worse, let the enemy within inside the Senate and the House. I truly hope this serves as a wake-up call so that by 2028, these lies won’t work on you anymore.

🔴A lot of people are still confused about what President Trump is actually doing with Iran. You have to pick the signals out of the noise. Once you do, the line of travel is pretty clear. Let's review the signals: 1. On June 22, 2025, Trump wrote that regime change is not politically correct, but if this regime cannot make Iran great again, why would there not be regime change? He signed it MIGA ( Make Iran Great Again) 2. Under U.S. pressure, the European trio triggered the UN snapback on August 28, 2025. The Security Council sanctions that had been lifted came back. The psychological and economic effect showed up in the currency a few months later. 3. The protests sparked in the Tehran bazaar and got serious in early January. On January 2 Trump wrote that if Iran shoots and violently kills peaceful protesters, which is their custom, the United States will come to their rescue. Locked and loaded, ready to go. January 3, Venezuela operation, Maduro was taken out. 4. On January 5, Senator Lindsey Graham posed with Trump and a Make Iran Great Again hat. 5. On January 8 and 9, people came out nationwide, in the millions, answering Prince @PahlaviReza call. Mashhad, the largest city after Tehran, slipped out of control for a few hours. Araghchi, Regime's foreign minister, admitted the lapse. The internet was cut and a savage crackdown began. 6. @elonmusk , already reunited with Trump at New Year’s dinner after their falling out, oversaw X around January 9 and 10 as the platform switched Iran’s flag from the Islamic Republic emblem to the Imperial Lion and Sun flag. This is Pahlavi's flag. 7. On January 12 Graham went public with his support for Prince Reza Pahlavi. On January 14 they met, same hat: MIGA 8. On January 13 Trump wrote: Iranian Patriots, KEEP PROTESTING, TAKE OVER YOUR INSTITUTIONS. 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. MIGA. 9. The USS Abraham Lincoln was sent toward CENTCOM not long after, and the military buildup began. 10. With barely a word about the crackdown or the dead, Trump suddenly asked to restart nuclear talks. The Oman track moved forward while the CENTCOM buildup kept growing. 11. On February 14, at the prince’s call, the diaspora came out. In Toronto nearly 700,000 people were in the streets, one of the largest rallies North America has seen. In Munich, Graham showed up and stated his support for the prince @PahlaviReza and for Iranians. 12. On February 24 the CIA published a Farsi guide to a secure contact channel, because they knew the internet was about to go dark again. Mossad opened a Farsi Telegram channel when the war started. 13. On February 26 Araghchi wrote that they were close to a deal. On February 28 the war started with Khamenei removed. 14. As the war opened, Trump released his famous line: Ayatollah Khamenei is dead. then he added: " Finally, to the great proud people of Iran, I say tonight that the hour of your freedom is at hand. Stay sheltered. When we are finished, take over your government. It will be yours to take. This will be probably your only chance for generations." 15. Prince Reza Pahlavi put out a message with the same substance a few minutes after President Trump began speaking. 16. The Farsi Mossad account and Israel in Persian told people, more than once, to wait for the right moment. 17. Because the internet inside Iran was down, Admiral Brad Cooper, the CENTCOM commander, sat on March 23 with Iran International, a Farsi language outlet people were watching by satellite. The interview was translated and aired in Persian. He said it plainly: at some point there will be a clear signal, as the president has indicated, for you to come out. 18. During the war the regime turned the cities into a military zone and put up heavy checkpoints to search cars for guns. Some of those checkpoints were hit by drones. A lot of analysts think those strikes were a test, a feasibility check, so they could scale the drones later. 19. Trump started to talk openly about the killing of protesters, the numbers, and the cruelty, and said people cannot come out, especially with no weapons. 20. He said he had sent guns through the Kurds for the protesters, and that they kept the guns for themselves. 21. There was a ceasefire when the regime was one step from collapse, but it still managed to agree on a front man for talks. 22. Then came the MOU and an extremely generous offer if they would stop fighting. Oil and the stock market calmed down, and the attacks on Trump at home quieted too. The military buildup around Iran did not move. 23. As expected, the regime violated the ceasefire. Trump used that opening to wreck its ability to hold the Strait hostage. From mid July, CENTCOM came almost thirteen nights in a row, often right on the hour, hit, and left. The thirteenth night ended on July 23. 24. Then came the economic siege, and now the heavy outcourt Scott Bessent has set in motion. The target is the regime’s lifelines: the oil sales network, the money transfer routes, and the pipelines that bring in parts, reconstruction gear, and weapons. Cut those, and the machine that pays the IRGC and keeps the state standing starts to seize. 25. Trump’s Truth Social post tonight: I’m not trying to force Iran to the bargaining table, as ABC Fake News reported. I couldn’t care less if they sign a worthless, to them, agreement. I like our position now much better, with almost total control of the Hormuz Strait, and their economy totally collapsing. They are just playing out the inevitable. When are the Iranian people going to rise up and fight? 🔴Those are the signals. Trump has always said regime change has to be done by the people. The aim has been to help them finish what they started on January 8 and 9. If you watch the signals, especially Cooper’s interview and what he said straight to people inside Iran, the goal is to make the street safe. For reasons we do not have, they judged it still was not safe, and they likely moved to plan B. The pressure never stopped. Even during the MOU the buildup around Iran did not shrink. It grew. Anyone paying attention knew the MOU was about managing pressure and buying time, not about letting the regime off. 🔴As the prince has said more than once, Iranians themselves are the boots on the ground. They do not want a savior. They want help. They want an equalizer so one side is not empty handed and the other is not armed to the teeth with a command system still intact. Look closely and the plan from the start was to get that help to the people. Arming the public at scale from outside is not possible. What remains is degrading the regime’s forces, step by step. The regime had turned the country into a missile base and used the Strait to hold the world economy hostage. That blocked the next stage. That card is being taken away. The strategy never changed. The tactics did, because the facts on the ground changed. The regime’s lifelines, China, Russia, the UAE, Qatar, Pakistan, and above all Europe, were never dropped from the picture. Managing them and cutting their effect has been one of the biggest things Trump has done in these months. So it's obvious that Trump is trying to help Iranians finish the job they started in January 8 and 9. But let's revisit the reasons the January rising failed, even though it was nationwide and in the millions. 🔴Historically, regimes fall when three things arrive together. The street burns the old legitimacy. The repression machine loses coherence and coordination. The administrative and economic machine decides the old regime is finished and can picture a replacement. The fall completes when a coherent leadership and a clear plan are visible. In January, it was not only that repression stayed unified. It was also the calculating, cautious administrative class. Regimes do not survive on guns alone. They survive on the bank clerk, customs, the municipality, state TV, the judge, the mid level manager in the IRGC’s economic empire, and whoever draws a salary and an oil cut. These people are not necessarily believers. They count. As long as the only game in town is the regime itself, they go to work the next morning even if they hate it, because the child, the rent, the medicine, and the job still run through that system. Last time, people had to keep living inside the old order because no alternative was thinkable. This is also something that must be changed. That is why Trump, if he wants to help Iranians, needs Prince Reza Pahlavi. He already knows the Iraq and Afghanistan mistake. Falling the regime was not the disaster. Saddam went down in about a month. The disaster was the vacuum after, the chaos, and Americans trying to build a nation. Helping Iranians take the state themselves is the way around that. Shared enemy, shared interest. That is why Trump keeps drawing a bright line between the people and the regime, and why Iranian public opinion is not a side issue for him. You do not need Trump to say the name himself. The support went through @LindseyGrahamSC . Trump does not put his cards on the table until the last minute. He lets every group believe he is walking in their direction, so they do not resist for nothing and some of them get played. Prince @PahlaviReza is already the face of the transition. People inside and outside the country have taken their cue from him. He is the "only" one large numbers of Iranians actually Trust, and the one who can pull that force into one direction. We are getting closer to that moment. Trump is not idle. He is cutting or weakening the regime’s foreign lifelines one by one, including oil sales, money routes, and the flow of gear and weapons. From the CIA signal and from how Mossad works, you can be sure covert work is being prepared for the day it is needed. 🔴The day itself, as I see it, looks like this: The prince names a date again. Israel hits what is left of the senior and mid level command and the chain breaks. A no fly zone goes up, and American and Israeli aircraft give cover from the sky. The dissolution of the regime and the appointment of a transition government are announced by Prince Reza Pahlavi on national television. 🔴Iran will be free soon. Do not spend your energy on panic about what Trump is doing, or on fighting the regime’s hired voices online. Stay focused, stay ready, and wait for that moment.
