Donald Trump has thrown his weight behind Iranian protesters with a new 'Make Iran Great Again' push, cancelling all meetings with Tehran officials and warning that those responsible for killing demonstrators will 'pay a big price'. The move raises the stakes dramatically as the death toll from anti‑government protests climbs and talk in Washington shifts from sanctions to possible strikes.
'Iranian Patriots, KEEP PROTESTING - TAKE OVER YOUR INSTITUTIONS', Trump wrote on Truth Social. He urged demonstrators, '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'. This statement underlines how openly the White House is now backing regime change, with Senator Lindsey Graham sharing a photo of Trump holding a 'Make Iran Great Again' hat next to a pre‑revolution Iranian flag.
