Donald Trump warned Iran to stop killing protesters, or else the regime would face the wrath of the American military. Iran did not stop, and Trump did nothing except to enter into negotiations with the Islamic Republic. Many Iranians who put their faith in Trump’s threats to the regime have been horrified at his failure to act. But President Trump, the Jerusalem Post says in its editorial here Trump can still redeem himself, “Trump has betrayed the Iranian people, but it’s not too late to topple the regime – editorial,” Jerusalem Post, February 4, 2026:
When Iranian protesters took to the streets last month in the deadliest domestic unrest since the 1979 revolution, they carried handwritten signs addressed to US President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
They renamed streets after the American president. They filmed video messages pleading for intervention from Washington and Jerusalem. They believed explicit warnings from Trump against killing demonstrators meant something. But they were wrong.
US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi are set to meet in Istanbul in an effort to revive diplomacy over the long-running dispute about Iran’s nuclear program and dispel fears of a new regional war. A regional diplomat said representatives from countries such as Saudi Arabia and Egypt would also participate.
This is the same regime that, according to eyewitness accounts and smuggled messages, committed what one Iranian described as “a crime against humanity” during the crackdown. The same regime that shut down the internet for over three weeks to hide mass arrests and killings….
We now know the full extent of the killing, based on what informants inside Iran have reported. The number of Iranian protesters killed now stands at 36,500, and another 300,000 wounded.
The protesters begged for help because they believed Trump’s warnings. They renamed their streets because they thought American power would protect them, and they were slaughtered anyway. Now, Trump is prepared to sit and deal with this regime.
As it stands, he has betrayed the Iranian people, and they are unlikely to ever forgive him for this. But it’s not too late. President Trump, topple this regime.
Perhaps the Iranians will offer to deliver their 400 kg. stockpile of uranium enriched to a level just below weapons grade to the IAEA, and promise not to restart their nuclear program. But they will never agree to Trump’s other two demands: first, to give up their ballistic missiles, and to stop building new ones; second, to end their support for proxies, including Hezbollah and Hamas. Trump has to reiterate that he will only accept Iran’s agreement to all three of his demands. And when the supreme leader refuses, Trump can do what he previously promised, and use his “massive armada” that has now been assembled, to end the nightmare Iranians have endured for 47 years.
