The President is offering support to the Zionist terrorists who have been trying to overthrow the Iranian government.
Such respect for the people of Iran as they try to take back their corrupt government. You will see great support from the United States at the appropriate time!

Meanwhile, the head of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard has said that they have defeated the uprising.
BBC:
The head of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards has declared the defeat of the “sedition” in the country, referring to a wave of anti-government protests.
Maj Gen Mohammad Ali Jafari made the announcement as tens of thousands of people attended pro-government rallies called to counter the unrest.
It began last Thursday in the city of Mashhad and has seen 21 people killed.
The protests were initially against price rises and corruption, but turned to wider anti-government sentiment.
They have been the largest since the disputed 2009 presidential election.
Gen Jafari said: “Today, we can say that this is the end of the 96 sedition,” referring to the current year – 1396 – in the Persian calendar.
He said “security preparedness and people’s vigilance” had led to the defeat of “enemies” and that the Guards had only intervened in a “limited” way in three provinces.
He added: “There were a maximum of 1,500 people in each place and the number of troublemakers did not exceed 15,000 people nationwide.”
15,000 isn’t a large number of people. Certainly the pro-government rallies have been much larger in size and scope than those opposing the government. In fact, new pro-government rallies denouncing the protesters were held today. It seems clear that the Iranian people support the government and do not wish to see it overthrown by Zionist terrorists.
Since it would appear as if the Iranian government has crushed these protests, the next step to escalate the situation would be for the Zionists to arm them with weapons. That’s what they did in Syria. When protests failed to do the job, they armed Islamic terrorists which eventually led to all out war.
Obviously I would encourage the President not to support these Zionist terrorists. This is probably wishful thinking on my part but I would hope that this is just empty rhetoric and bluster. Trump’s statements on Iran have always been troubling and these are no different.
