It appears that President Donald Trump’s vacillation on whether or not to assist the Iranian people in their efforts to throw off the despicable theocracy that oppresses them and threatens the United States with nuclear weapons has once again saved the Ayatollahs.
When the latest revolutionary moment in Iran began, the President said he does "NOT" want regime change in Iran. "I'd like to see everything calm down as quickly as possible. Regime change makes chaos."
Later, he appeared to offer American assistance to the revolutionaries if the Ayatollahs engaged in mass murder to suppress the revolution, saying, “If they start killing people as they have in the past, I think they're gonna get hit very hard by the United States."
And when the Ayatollahs did, as shown quite graphically in the video below, engage in mass murder, President Trump announced American “help is on the way.”
But then the “help” was pulled back, as President Trump said, that he convinced himself not to intervene.
Now, the President has announced that he is in favor of regime change.
However, President Trump’s latest about face may be too little too late for the brave Iranian freedom fighters who took him at his word when he said “help is on the way.”
Iran’s Judiciary Chief even admits the regime lied to Trump—and reiterated his vow of mass executions.
The horrific torture awaiting captured Iranian protesters, such Erfan Soltani, who was reportedly beaten to death inside one of the regime's 'slaughterhouse' jails where inmates face gang-rape, electric shocks to the genitals and having their nails pulled out.

There is also mounting evidence that the Ayatollahs used chemical weapons against the Iranian people they govern with increasingly barbaric ferocity.
Suspicion has fallen on the President’s old friend and Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff, who is reasonably seen as being unduly influenced (if not owned) by Qatar as the source of the advice against intervening to assist the Iranian revolutionaries.
So, what happens now?
Secretary of State Marco Rubio has correctly told the President that his credibility, and the credibility of the United States, will suffer if Trump does not follow through on his statement that “help is on the way.”
According to a recent Rasmussen Reports survey, 57% of Republicans would approve of U.S. military action to help overthrow Ayatollah Khamenei. Many Trump supporters are concerned the President blew his credibility as soon as the piles of dead Iranian bodies appeared online, yet he did nothing after he told them help was on the way and he was “locked and loaded.”
President Trump will have a lot of work to do to gain that credibility back, not only with the Iranian people, who relied upon his statement “help is on the way,” but with our enemies who are already gloating that he backed down after being suckered by the Ayatollahs’ lies.
The blow to President Trump’s credibility on the world stage is a legitimate concern, but we are even more concerned about the lack of strategic vision on the part of Trump’s inner circle that has been disclosed by his vacillation on Iran.
Everyone who is realistic about the now 47-year-old war Iran’s theocratic regime declared on America knows that regime change is the only way to permanently stop Iran’s drive to acquire nuclear weapons.
The weakness of Iran’s system of Wilayat al-Faqih has never been more obvious and the opportunity to undermine it from within rarely greater. If we want to end the threat of a nuclear-armed Iran, the time to decapitate the Iranian theocracy and replace it with something else is now.
