After having promised the protesters in Iran that they should keep going, assuring them that “help is on the way” and repeatedly threatening the Iranian government with a possible violent intervention by the American military, Donald Trump suddenly turned back, and announced that he had it on good authority that the Iranian regime had stopped its violence, so there was no longer any need for the Americans to intervene. He even praised the government of Iran, thanking it for not executing 800 protesters who, Trump claimed, were scheduled to be hung. In return, Ayatollah Khamenei has again denounced the Great Satan, and another senior Iranian official has just given his own response to Trump’s pusillanimity. More about that response, in which he called for kidnaping Trump, as well as carrying out terrorist acts inside the US, including arson, car rammings, and murder, can be found here: “Iranian Official Says Regime Should Capture Trump, Every US City Deserves Rampant Arson, Murder,” by Jack Elbaum, Algemeiner, January 16, 2026:
An Iranian official has called on the Islamic Republic to capture US President Donald Trump and said it is permissible to carry out terrorist attacks in US cities.
Hassan Rahimpour-Azghadi, an official with the Iranian Supreme Council of the Cultural Revolution, threatened Trump and the American people during an appearance last week on the Islamic Republic of Iran News Network (IRINN) TV, a state-run news channel.
The comments from Jan. 9 were first reported and translated by the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI).
“Inshallah, we should do to Trump something similar to what they did to Maduro,” Rahimpour-Azghadi said, referring to the recent American operation to arrest ousted Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro for his alleged role in trafficking drugs.
“Such an operation should be carried out against Trump …We are dealing with a savage individual and a savage regime, which extends its claws everywhere in the world,” the Iranian official continued….
Unsheathed Iranian claws, on the other hand, have in recent years been extended to Gaza, Yemen, Lebanon, Syria, and Iraq, where Iran had been attempting to create a “Shi’a crescent” to surround and threaten the state of Israel.\\
“Inshallah, we should do to Trump something similar to what they did to Maduro,” Rahimpour-Azghadi said, referring to the recent American operation to arrest ousted Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro for his alleged role in trafficking drugs.
“Such an operation should be carried out against Trump …We are dealing with a savage individual and a savage regime, which extends its claws everywhere in the world,” the Iranian official continued.
In addition to calling for the capture of Trump, Rahimpour-Azghadi further made the point that what he views as illegal US actions now make it permissible to conduct terrorist actions “in every state and every city.”
Specifically, the Iranian official was referring to “arson attacks, burning people, gunning down people in the streets, running over a mother and her daughter with a car.” The US, he argued, has engaged in such actions in Iran, and therefore, “by law, it is now permissible to carry out any type of attack, whether on US soil, against US interests across the world.”…
Well, that’s quite a threat: arson, burning people alive, shooting people in the street, and even — Rahimpour-Azghadi is quite the detail man — “running over a mother and her daughter with a car.” It’s some list.
The regime has responded with increasingly violent force on protests. An Iranian official told Reuters earlier this week that about 2,000 people had been killed in the protests, marking the first time authorities have given an overall death toll from more than two weeks of unrest….
That estimate of 2,000 protesters having been killed is much too low, as even the Iranians finally admitted.
“Based on available data and cross-checking information obtained from reliable sources, including the Supreme National Security Council and the presidential office, the initial estimate by the Islamic Republic’s security institutions is that at least 12,000 people were killed in this nationwide killing,” reported Iran International, a Persian-language news outlet….
Now the regime admits that at least 12,000 people were killed during the protests. Some sites that Iranians in exile run claim that far more protesters — at least 20,000 — were killed in the protests. When a final tabulation is made, the world will undoubtedly discover that tens of thousands of Iranian protesters were, in fact, killed.
That bloodcurdling threat made by Rahimpour-Azghadi to Trump and to Americans in general would not have been made without the approval of the Supreme Leader. Trump tried, in his mercurial and blundering fashion, to win Iranian approval by abandoning overnight the protesters for whom he had initially held out hope of American intervention. And what did he get in return? A threat to murder him, this “impure man, this savage yellow dog” who fancies himself a peacemaker. A threat to launch terrorist attacks in cities all over America, with gunfire in the streets, arson attacks that would “burn people up,” car rammings, and even a woman and her daughter, gunned down.
Perhaps Trump will now turn again, like Dick Whittington, and after such a ferocious response from Iran, recognize that the Islamic Republic is unhinged by hate, hate for any Iranian who does not slavishly obey the Supreme Leader, and hate for all those outside Iran who support those freedom-seeking Iranians. And then he will indeed make clear that this time he really means it — “help is on its way.”
Horatio says
To top all this off, our fearless leader, Trump, just had a meeting in the White House with that great anti-American and antisemite, Tucker Carlson. Perhaps Tucker was able to advise Trump on the proper strategy.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
At this rate, he should just re-establish diplomatic relations w/ the islamic republic, and make Tucker the ambassador to Tehran. Then when the islamists take the embassy hostage, they can broadcast Tucker on Iranian TV again, just like they did a few days ago
St Croix says
Good one.
The layers of theatre going on is becoming absolutely absurd.
Am I the only one to remember the Iran-Contra debacle? I watched many of those hearings on tv. I was a young thing at the time, but found it amazing.
“I, I…just can’t remember”…
Well, let’s remember which country enabled the installation of the Ayatollahs in Iran in the first place. Does anyone really think things have now changed?
Behind the scenes, they are all good buddies. Trump included.
He warned Israel “Don’t touch the Ayatollahs!” And their leaders obeyed. Many of the population in Israel are shocked and dismayed at what’s going on. Why are they listening to Trump at all at this point? Their own leaders are selling them out.
Yet, here in the West, it’s very popular on social media to claim that The Joos are in control, and Netanyahu controls Trump! It’s laughable, yet, so many are taken in by the puppet show.
MJ Raichyk, PhD says
Instead of just MOANING about the IMPRESSION that AIPAC succeeds in making as lobbyists, where’s the ”research group” DOCUMENTING the LOBBYING BY CAIR, …and their fronts…
NEXT the most credible estimates of protestors’ deaths was just under 3800, VERIFIED dead… and 24000 ARRESTED…. Who’s verifying their status?
What’s the story on the prisoners Iran planned on hanging?
TTYL
Namer says
Lets remember WHICH POLIICAL PARTY installed the Ayatollahs into power in Iran. Seems to me I distinctly remember Jimmy Carter doing it!
OH and lets not forget obama releasing $150 billion total in easily sold assets and $1.7 Billion in Cash! Since close to $1 Billion was in new US Dolars and the rest in Euros this had to have been in the works since at least the 1st day he was in office. The Treasury doesnt keep a billion in $100 bills laying around.
somehistory says
The rider with the large sword, on the red horse, taking ‘peace away from the earth.’
Jesus said it would be this way….and it is.
St Croix says
And the white horse, which is debated, but seems to me it is false religion. It sets things up for the war, then the famines, diseases, and death, which follow.
“Spare not the oil nor the wine…” Luxury is still available for the top crust, who control the flow. The masses, can no longer afford the basics. Sounding familiar at this point. The power elites, WEF, Bilderburg people, leaders who are part of the gang, corporate elites, etc. They are in cooperation.
somehistory says
I believe that Jesus rides the White horse. White is a symbol of spiritual cleanness in the Bible. False religion is not ‘spiritually clean.’
The Rider wears a crown….Jesus is King.. He said in Matt 25 to Judge everyone according to their behaviors; .and that agrees with Revelation 19 where Jesus is called “Faithful and True.”
And the other horses ride during the time Jesus said He would return. War, famine, pestilence and death are the other riders who we can readily see riding upon the earth today. This agrees with Matthew 24 where Jesus describes the time of ‘great tribulation’ with famine, war, pestilence, occurring world -wide just before He returns.

Somehistory, I *greatly* respect your Biblical knowledge, but in this case I don’t believe that any of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse are intended to represent Jesus or any good for mankind.
The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, from the biblical Book of Revelation, symbolize divine judgment: Conquest/Pestilence (White Horse), War (Red Horse), Famine (Black Horse), and Death (Pale Horse). The White Horse, often seen as the Antichrist or false religion, represents a deceptive force of conquest or religious deception, though some interpretations link it to Christ’s message of the Gospel, preceding the other calamities.
This is–to my knowledge–the only specific link Jesus has to the White Horse–and that link is negative. This could *certainly* refer to Islam, as St Croix speculates.
somehistory says
g, you are welcome to your opinion. But, I stand by my belief that Jesus is the Rider of the White horse.
Revelation shows false religion dressed in scarlet and sitting on a wild beast.
White is considered spiritually clean….like the part about ‘washing in the blood of the Lamb to make the garments white.
And the ones getting the ‘white pebble” as opposed to the black one.
And the “Faithful Witness” who is dressed in white with a sword. Another verse said that Jesus will ‘judge with the long sword of His mouth.
So, think what you wish to think It doesn’t make any difference to me. The only problem is if you are wrong and yet, convince someone that you are correct.
somehistory says
” I looked, and there before me was a white horse! Its rider held a bow, and he was given a crown, and he rode out as a conqueror bent on conquest.”
I have a question for you; Who would give “pestilence” a crown? In what sense can disease wear a ‘crown”
Think about it.
The other riders are identified by the words of the ‘living creature’ then through the angel, written down by John.
Pestilence rides along with death and hades on the pale horse.
” I looked, and there before me was a pale horse! Its rider was named Death, and Hades was following close behind him. They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill by sword, famine and plague, and by the wild beasts of the earth.”
gravenimage says
Not sure that Jesus would be designated one of the “Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse”–but if you believe he is, that is of course your right.
somehistory says
It’s because of the description of the Rider, not that people call them “the four horsemen of the apocalypse.” John wrote down the descriptions, but he never wrote ‘four horsemen of the apocalypse.’
Along with that description of the Rider and other verses which describe Christ on His Return….”riding a white horse, carrying a large sword,’ and other things He said and the Bible records.
He will return during the time we are having those other riders obvious to the world.
It’s not just the one verse which people have ‘labeled.’
Stive says
My thoughts are unpopular but they are years old and now only being proven.
I consider both trump & netanyahu deep state traitors to their nations.i give it to them they weave a web of deception better than any in history.
If trump does anything in Iran it will be regime change to a worse rulership and not the shah, unless he sells out his people and I can’t see that happening. His board of future Gaza rulers, trump says Israel has no say in enemies like Qatar, turkey, Pakistan on it. Israel has a say now to get this group office out of Israel now.
Israel still controls most of Gaza, needs to finish Hamas and not allow trump group even come in. Israel needs to in consultation with Pahlavi do everything possible to free Iran leaving trump out.
Like Greeks bearing gifts to troy, trump is the greatest danger Israel has ever faced far worse than Obama and Biden in sum total. I could list how trump is destroying america better than Obama could in a kinder gentler most deceptive way, and far faster too. Few today possess the ability to process the following implications of what comes out of what seems good at the moment.
Ill switch to netanyahu. He once was an American citizen and has a social security number. Numbers can be written in Hebrew letter number values, so numbers can at times make words. Netanyahu social number makes a phrase of, The shearer the traitor. Like shearer of the wool.
Wish I knew what his Israeli number was also.
Netanyahu ruled the 20 years that hamas and hezbolla built their tunnels and infrastructure and did nothing. He changed laws on gun permits making it hard for 90% to get a side arm..gun permits always needed renewed and most no longer were renewable. The 1200 people slaughtered on Oct 7, many once had side arms but lost that right and side arms had to be kept in a locked armory instead. The slaughter would have been far less if not for netanyahu. True, netanyahu was blind to Oct 7 as deep state military brass kept him in the dark. True the crimes of his trial is baloney. They are nothings.
Trump & netanyahu are partners in warp speed crime against humanity. Netanyahu role for trump & bourla was to entice the world to trust the science, for if the leader of the Jewish state says to inject the experimental German juice into the Jews is safe, oh, it must be safe. Netanyahu even said he knew the German juice was safe because German bio chemist Angela Merkel assured him it was safe. We all love and trust Angela Merkel of course.
I do not have TDS.im a right-wing conservative Israeli american Jew in Christ.
I do have Trumpitis, a sickness from unraveling how evil masquerades as good.
I learned how evil trump was by listening to trump talk at executive signing ceremonies, meetings with dignitaries and speeches before, after or during trips abroad. And I only listened in very pro trump RSBN to not be intised by lefty news sites. Others on RSBN heard what I heard but I don’t have selective hearing but hear all. And hear with comprehension.
America like Israel is stuck. The left will destroy us, but no person of goodness on the right that can get in power to replace trump.
My solace is the bible promises and prophesies. How much time left before Jesus returns I do not know, but it is not that far off I do know
࿗Infidel࿘ says
On Netanyahu, your criticism is not new. I have seen people – both Israeli and American Jews – point out that he talks tough, but is too willing to compromise, or walk back threats he makes, such as annexing Judea and Samaria. He’s certainly no Yitzhak Shamir or Menachem Begin
I remember in 1982, when the US was going livid at Israel for the Sabra & Chatilla massacres of Palis in West Beirut, Begin made an address, where he declared that Israel was not a banana republic, and that the Jewish people had lived for millennia before the US existed, and would continue to live millennia more. After that, the US State Department did not dare to say anything that would upset Jerusalem. Unlike Begin, Bibi has never spoken out denouncing Washington, even though there were 4 presidents he ought to have denounced – Bush 41, Clinton, Obama and Biden
On Trump, I dearly miss the Trump of 2015, who after the San Bernardino massacre, said that he’d do a ban on muslims entering the country. Part of that is fulfilled w/ the 75 countries he decided to blacklist last week, which includes ones like Pakistan and Bangladesh. But he needs to be as combative of jihad-centric regimes internationally, including the likes of Qatar, Turkey, Pakistan and the islamic republic currently occupying Iran (I think I’ll adapt Goldie Ghamari’s description of “Occupied Iran” to describe the islamic regime)
St. Croix says
Brother, I agree with you. I had hoped it would be otherwise; that Trump really was a “good guy” but clearly, he is not. He is just playing his part. By now it’s blatantly obvious. What a disappointment to the people of Iran, to be led on, and lied to, by the leader of the USA.
And the Iranian overlords play their part, “threatening Trump” and so on, just like in a movie or a video game. Behind the scenes, they probably raise a glass together. Yes, even the “abstinent” often drink when no one is watching! When they jump on the plane and take off their robes in the bathroom, come back in Western garb, and order the most expensive single-malt on the menu!
As for Netanyahu, it’s likely, IMO, he has been compromised somehow. Like most leaders, the international ring have something on him, so they can control him. The same old blackmail techniques have been used time and again. Now with footage and recordings, it’s much easier than in the Old Times.
Like you, I put my hope in the return of the Lord Jesus.
Huh?!? says
Trump did goof by not taking measures against Iran. Perhaps this insulting by Iran will cause Trump to make good on his process. I pray so.
Walter Sieruk says
Since that senior official of that belligerent and hostile tyrannical Islamic regime of Iran called for jihad attacks across the United States, it not a bluff, then a valid threat
Therefore, all decent patriotic Americans should not live in fear or be afraid to go to different places and do different things, Nevertheless, Americans still need to be aware of this and be alert to observe anything or anyone that doesn’t’ seem or look right. As in “What wrong with this picture? ‘ Then if something or someone suspicious is observed then police officer should be informed about it.
For example, a tee-shit vendor ta Times Square once was some smoke come out a parked van, so he told a police officer about. That van did have explosives in it that had been rigged to go off, yet it didn’t.
This led to the terrorist who schemed and that jihad-rigged van being captured and later imprisoned.
As it has been said “ If you see something, say something.” Another way to put this was written by Thomas Jefferson. For the wisdom, he wrote applies even more now than in his own time.
For Mr. Jefferson wrote, “Let the eye of vigilance never be closed.”
Walter Sieruk says
Remember; observe watch and report if it is deemed necessary.
OLD GUY says
Jihad attacks in America would NOT be a major issue if our political leaders in the past had closed the immigration from muslim/islamic countries. But we now have thousands or millions of these islamic followers in the country. That increases the risk of a major jihad attack greatly.
