Trump’s big election win drew “mixed reactions” from the citizens of Iran, “with some fearing a heightened risk of war and economic hardship but others hoping his hardline stance might bring political change in Iran.” This reaction demonstrates, as have the widespread anti-regime protests, the gap between the Iranian regime and its own people. Many Iranians are avid supporters of Iran’s exiled prince Reza Pahlavi, who recently called for Israel to overthrow the regime in Tehran.
In the past, the regime’s desperation has been on global display, as it used its primary weapons of fear and terror to crush anti-government protests.
Trump has in past levied crippling sanctions on Iran. The Islamic Republic also faces Israel, a formidable foe now backed by Trump, an unwavering supporter of Israel. So, for the sake of image, it is downplaying Trump’s win, when it’s no secret that it fears the alliance between a Trump-led America and Israel at least as much as it fears its own dissidents and detractors within.
“Iran plays down importance of US election, voices readiness for confrontation,” Reuters, November 6, 2024:
DUBAI, Nov 6 (Reuters) – Iranians’ livelihoods will not be affected by the U.S. elections, government spokesperson Fatemeh Mohajerani was reported as saying on Wednesday after Donald Trumpclaimed victory in the presidential vote.
Arab and Western officials have told Reuters Trump may reimpose his “maximum pressure policy” through heightened sanctions on Iran’s oil industry and empower Israel to strike its nuclear sites and conduct assassinations….
“Iranians worried, elated, wary in mixed reaction to Trump win,” by Parisa Hafezi, Reuters, November 6, 2024:
DUBAI, Nov 6 (Reuters) – Donald Trump’s victory in the U.S. presidential election drew mixed reactions among ordinary Iranians, with some fearing a heightened risk of war and economic hardship but others hoping his hardline stance might bring political change in Iran.
“I am so glad Trump won. I hope he continues his maximum pressure on the Islamic Republic and that it leads to the collapse of this regime,” housewife Zohre, 42, told Reuters by phone from Tehran.
Some Iranians like retired teacher Hamidreza feared further economic pressure with Trump in the White House if he continues the same tough policy he adopted in his 2017-2021 first term….

With President, Trump as the President of the United States,we may be sure the US will no longer have a policy of appeasement towards those hostile anti –America and anti- Israel Muslim despots of that tyrannical Islamic regime of Iran. As by contrast to treacherous and traitorous , Joe Biden, who was always giving in, as in “caving in” to those in power in Islamic tyranny of Iran, granting them everything that they demand.
Walter Sieruk says
Way before that justified and righteous revolt started in the year 2022 by the Iranian people against that oppressive and brutally murderous tyrannical Islamic regime of Iran knowledge of just how horrendously cruel vicious and horrifically evil that “mullah tyranny” of Iran actually was and still is.
For example, back in time during President Trump’s first term in Office on Tuesday, 4/22/ 19 in his second State on the Union a speech President Trump ,wisely, spoke of that Islamic tyranny of Iran as well as those in total power and complete of that tyrannical rogue state. For the President declared, “It is a radical regime; they do bad, bad things.”
Earlier, on 2/5/19, the then US Secretary of State, Michael Pompeo, spoke of that brutal and oppressive tyranny which oppresses the people of Iran and said “We will not appease their oppressors as that last administration did .” Pompeo then stated, “We will support the Iranian people.”
Moreover, an author of an article on a Freedom Site, Dariush Afshar, had explained the reality of the situation well when he wrote that the “People of Iran who fight for freedom in Iran and abroad put a huge gap and draw a prominent line between Iran and the Islamic regime in Tehran.”
This is sadly and tragically the terrible reality of this Islamic tyrannical regime of Iran. This Islamic tyranny has been well nicknamed “the mullahs regime” in which them mullahs and ayatollahs as well as other fiendish and fanatical Muslims in power have a strong and awful control of the Islamic regime of Iran and through their band of Islamic state “police” , who are called the “Revolutionary Guards “come down hard human rights of the Iranian people .
Therefore, the Iranian people who are trapped and forced to exist in this Islamic tyranny live in terrible fear of the mullahs and others in power in Iran. This is a tragic and sad reminder of the wisdom that was printed in the periodical of Benjamin Franklin, which is entitled POOR RICHARDS’ ALMANAC that reads “Those who are feared are also hated.”
It also should be added, to this that the actual word “Republic” has on origin the Latin meaning “Of the people” With the mullahs ayatollahs in so much power and even influencing the parliament of this Islamic regime is tyranny is hardly a real republic .Furthermore the ruthless gang of thugs who are the stooges of those Muslim clerics, called the “Revolutionary Guards,” those Islamic State “police” come down hard on the human rights and freedoms of the Iranian people. Therefore the people do have the right to overthrow a tyranny. This reality had even been expressed and described by men of great intelligence .For example, the philosopher .John Locke. This is wisdom that mullahs and other villains in power in that Islamic tyranny don’t want the Iranian people to know about or understand.
Walter Sieruk says
The many arrest and imprisonment of people , repeatedly, who had peacefully protested that “mullah tyranny” of Iran only further exposes the weak ,fearful and intolerant nature of those in power in the oppressive and brutal “mullah regime “ of Iran.
As a former Muslim revealed an important reality when he wrote “The Islamic republic of Iran exists and operates as what every fundamentalist dreams of, an Islamic state ruled by sharia …” He further exposes that “What followed its establishment was the inevitable consequence and inexorable logic of its Islamic premise; state terrorism, a merciless tyranny.” [1]
Furthermore, in the book entitled HOW ISLAM PLANS TO CHANGE THE WORLD, by William Wagner on page 208 the reader is informed that “The creation of the Islamic republic in Iran has had the effect that many from that country have become disillusioned with Islam and are looking to leave Iran. ” This is a point worth pondering.
[1] THE ISLAM IN ISLAMIC TERRORISM by Ibn Warraq page 347.
Walter Sieruk says
That horrendously brutal, cruel oppressive malicious and murderous Islamic regime of Iran, denies the Iranian, people their basic natural human rights.
Therefore, the Iranian people are right and righteous by engaging in bitter and strong protests against those cruel malicious and murderous tyrants in power of that cruel and oppressive Sharia based dictatorship of that Islamic regime of Iran.
In other words, those vicious despots of that horrendously horrific Islamic regime have provoked the people excessively too far.
In addition, some of the people who trapped in and forced to exist in the Islamic dictatorship of Iran might not know about the intellect philosopher John Locke, but his ideas do apply to them. For Mr. Locke taught that any good government has the duty to ensure the security and safety of its citizens. Yet when a tyranny is the people in the tyrannical government do have every natural and ethical right to overthrow that terrible and oppressive tyrannical government.
