…after we are done, overthrow your government, it’s yours.
Washington, US — The iNews Times reports that former US President Donald Trump has urged Iranians to overthrow their government amid escalating US and Israeli attacks on Iranian territory. In a video message shared publicly, Trump called on citizens to seize the opportunity created by the strikes, describing it as a historic chance to take control of their country.
“After we are done, you take over your government, it’s yours. I think this is your chance to do it,” Trump said, addressing the Iranian people directly. He also warned Iranian military forces that they would be spared if they surrendered their weapons, but would face deadly consequences if they resisted.
The remarks come amid heightened tensions following US and Israeli military actions that Tehran has described as criminal aggression against its territory. Human rights groups have reported that earlier in January, Trump had threatened military action over Iran’s crackdown on protests, which has already resulted in more than 6,400 deaths.
Trump’s call to action underscores the growing international scrutiny of Iran’s internal situation and raises concerns over potential escalations in civil unrest. Analysts say such statements could embolden opposition groups while further straining diplomatic efforts aimed at de-escalating tensions in the Middle East.
In his video, Trump framed the US and Israeli attacks as a strategic moment for Iranians to challenge the ruling government, emphasizing that the US would protect those who comply with his warnings. The statements have been widely circulated on social media and are expected to fuel debates on international intervention and sovereignty in Iran.
Observers note that the former president’s message comes at a time when Iran is already dealing with the humanitarian fallout from protests and foreign military pressure, potentially adding fuel to an already volatile situation.
