Trump Administration Says It's Working to Encourage Iranian Revolutionaries

Maybe he should just give the ayatollahs $140 billion. That worked last time.

The Trump administration is keeping a close eye on the growing protests in Iran, with senior administration officials working to ensure President Donald Trump does not miss an opportunity to incubate a possible revolution that could topple Iran's hardline ruling regime, according to White House officials who spoke to the Washington Free Beacon.

With the world watching growing demonstrations across Iran, the Trump administration sees an opportunity to feed the growing protests. The policy is starkly different than the Obama administration's approach in 2009, when similar protests gripped Iran and were met with silence.

Many viewed the Obama administration's hesitation to back the protests as part of the reason they fizzled out amid a violent crackdown by the Iranian regime, which has engaged in similar tactics as anti-regime activists take to the streets across the Islamic Republic.

President Trump and Vice President Mike Pence are said to be closely monitoring the situation and working to warn Iran's ruling regime that "this will not be a repeat of the 2009 demonstrations," according to a senior administration official briefed on the situation.

Meanwhile, Ben Rhodes and his Echo Chamber, by which I mean the corrupt leftist media, continues insisting that we remain silent and do not speak up on behalf of Iran's people-- which is of course exactly what Obama did in 2009, guaranteeing the mullahs' continued rule.

Even Leon Panetta admits Obama should have spoken up on behalf of the 2009 Green Movement protesters.
