Trump Reveals Brutal Truth as Iran Regime Struggles Daily
President Donald Trump said Wednesday that Iran's regime is "getting weaker and weaker by the day." That was the plan. The U.S. wanted to see the government fall.
But the reality is different. The people are still waiting.
According to Breitbart, Trump informed reporters that Tehran might be approaching the boundaries of its endurance. The U.S. is using economic isolation and military power to force a change. Senior officials say this pressure could lead to internal fracture or a return to talks on American terms.
Trump made his comments just one day after he called on Iranians to "rise up and fight." He wants to see a revolution.
Here is the thing. If the regime is so weak, why haven't the people moved?
Trump knows the answer. He told reporters in the Oval Office that he asked about sending the CIA to arm the Iranians. He declined to say yes or no.
"I wouldn't want to say that," Trump replied. He added, "I'd love to tell you that, but it wouldn't be appropriate to say."
He explained the silence is because the government kills anyone who protests. He cited the brutal suppression of the mass protest movement that destabilized the nation prior to the onset of the current conflict.
"When I ask that question, I ask it sort of knowing the answer," Trump said.
"The only answer is that they're being shot." Trump characterized how snipers and gunmen targeted demonstrators. It is a deadly trap for anyone who stands up.

This is where it changes. The goal has moved.
According to Reason Magazine, Trump initially told "the great proud people of Iran" that "the hour of your freedom is at hand." He said everyone in the government was marked for "certain death," from generals to traffic cops. He expected the republic to collapse in a few days.
That did not happen.

With the war having entered just over a month and no indications of collapse, Trump altered his objectives. He moved to securing a favorable deal. He eventually signed a peace memorandum in June 2026.
But now, after more fighting and a U.S. bombing of an Iranian wedding, he is back to calling for regime change.
On Truth Social, he declared that he "couldn't care less if they sign a worthless, to them, agreement. He stated, "I like our position now much better, with almost total control of the Hormuz Strait, and their economy totally collapsing.
Trump says the economy is "totally collapsing." He claims the U.S. holds "almost total control of the Hormuz Strait."
"They are just playing out the inevitable," he posted.

The President believes the people will not take the pain forever.
"The regime is getting weaker and weaker by the day, and at some point they're not going to be able to shoot so easily because I think the people aren't going to take it," Trump said.
He knows the risks are high. The Human Rights Activists News Agency in Virginia has documented 6,800 protesters and bystanders killed. Kurdish rebel commander Ehwen Chiako stated, "We try to convey that our move cannot lead to a massacre of our own people."

Trump knows the cost. He told the Washington Times he knows it is not easy to rise against hardline leaders.
He thinks the Islamic regime will get "weaker by the day" and become vulnerable to overthrow.
The world watches to see if the people will finally fight back or if the silence will hold.
