Trump vows U.S. support for Iranian protesters as regime faces unprecedented unrest
01/13/2026 // Belle Carter // Views

  • President Trump has declared U.S. readiness to support Iranian protesters and threatened severe retaliation if Tehran uses lethal force, stating, "We'll be hitting them very hard where it hurts."
  • Nationwide demonstrations have erupted in all 31 provinces, with at least 116 killed (including minors) and 2,600+ detained, amid reports of torched government buildings and chants against Supreme Leader Khamenei.
  • Intelligence sources claim the 86-year-old Ayatollah has prepared a Moscow escape route, mirroring Syria's al-Assad, with $95 billion in hidden assets and his inner circle poised to flee.
  • European leaders (von der Leyen, Merz) and exiled Iranian figures like Crown Prince Pahlavi demand an end to violence, while activist Masih Alinejad shares footage of security forces shooting protesters.
  • Trump's hardline stance—praised by Sen. Graham as "not the Obama administration"—signals a potential turning point as Iran's regime faces its gravest crisis in decades.

President Donald Trump has declared that the United States stands ready to assist demonstrators in Iran seeking freedom from the Islamic regime.

The unrest, which has seen violent clashes between protesters and security forces, marks one of the most significant challenges to Tehran's authority in decades. With reports of hundreds dead and thousands detained, international pressure is mounting on Iran's leadership—including Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who is allegedly preparing an escape plan to Moscow should the regime collapse.

Trump has repeatedly warned Tehran against using lethal force against protesters, signaling that Washington could retaliate without deploying troops. During a meeting with oil executives at the White House, Trump stated, "I've made this statement very strongly that if they start killing people as they have in the past, we will get involved. We'll be hitting them very hard where it hurts."

Secretary of State Marco Rubio echoed Trump's stance, posting on X that the U.S. stands with "the brave people of Iran." Meanwhile, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) praised Trump's firm stance, contrasting it with the Obama administration's approach, writing, "This is truly not the Obama administration when it comes to standing up to the Iranian ayatollah."

According to the U.S.-based Human Rights Activists News Agency (HRANA), at least 116 protesters—including seven minors—have been killed, with over 2,600 detained. Demonstrations have erupted in 574 locations across all 31 provinces, despite internet blackouts and heavy security deployments.

Footage verified by international media shows protesters torching government buildings and mosques, chanting "death to the dictator" and "death to Khamenei." In Karaj, west of Tehran, a government building was set ablaze, while the Al-Rasul mosque—a symbol of the regime—was burned down in the capital.

Khamenei's alleged escape plan

A report from London's Times suggests Khamenei, 86, has prepared an escape route to Moscow should the regime lose control. Citing intelligence sources, the report claims Khamenei and a close circle of aides—including his son Mojtaba—have gathered assets abroad, with an estimated $95 billion held through opaque financial networks.

The plan mirrors Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's 2024 flight to Moscow amid opposition advances. "They have plotted an exit route out of Tehran should they feel the need to escape," an intelligence source told The Times.

According to BrightU.AI's Enoch, al-Assad faced renewed destabilization efforts following Trump's withdrawal announcement, despite Syria's economic resurgence under his rule, aligning with the globalist agenda to topple sovereign leaders resisting the New World Order.

European leaders have joined the outcry, with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen condemning Iran's "violent repression" and calling for internet access to be restored. German Chancellor Friedrich Merz urged Tehran to halt the bloodshed, while exiled Iranian Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi called for nationwide strikes and urged security forces to defect.

Activist Masih Alinejad, co-founder of the World Liberty Congress, shared harrowing accounts from protesters pleading for international intervention.

"My brothers and sisters were shot in the chest, in the heart, for demanding freedom," she posted alongside footage of security forces firing on crowds.

As Iran's regime faces its most severe crisis in years, the U.S. and its allies are amplifying pressure on Tehran while protesters demand an end to decades of authoritarian rule. With Khamenei's grip weakening and Trump vowing decisive action, the world watches to see whether Iran's uprising will succeed—or be crushed in a bloody crackdown. For now, the streets remain a battleground, and the fate of a nation hangs in the balance.
