Where's Trump And What Is His Plan?

The world is taking to the streets in support of the Iranian people. But Trump is silent.

We must act NOW!

Across Iran and around the world, a powerful new wave of protests has erupted — a movement fueled by extraordinary bravery in the face of severe repression. Over the past week, Iranians have once again taken to the streets, demanding freedom despite the risks. Their courage has inspired millions worldwide to rally in solidarity.

Inside Iran, nighttime protests have surged across major cities, including Tehran, Karaj, Shiraz, Isfahan, Rasht, and Kermanshah. Residents shout pro-freedom slogans from rooftops and windows, responding to renewed calls from opposition leaders abroad. These demonstrations come amid a broad crackdown involving home raids, mass arrests, and the detention and execution of university students, doctors, lawyers, and even teenagers.

In early January, U.S. President Trump encouraged the Iranian people to keep protesting and told them, “Help is on the way.” But that help never came, and Iranians are being murdered for it.

If the administration won’t act, Congress MUST before even one more innocent Iranian life is lost. Fax Congress NOW and demand they VOTE YES on HR 2614 — the Maximum Support Act.

Saturday, Iran’s exiled Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi said that allowing the Ayatollah Ali Khamenei to stay in power “sends a clear signal to every bully: kill enough people and you stay in power.”

Human rights groups estimate more than 50,000 arrests, 16,500 killed and hundreds of thousands injured, though the true number may be far higher factoring in the internet shutdowns and security surveillance blocking communication. Families continue searching desperately for missing loved ones as government forces conduct nighttime raids and sweep up protesters across both urban and rural regions.

At the same time, the world is rising in support. Just this past week, over 1 million people rallied across North America, Europe, and Australia in the largest global demonstrations for Iran in years. Munich saw 250,000 protesters filling its central grounds, while Toronto and Los Angeles each saw estimated turnouts of 350,000 — massive displays of solidarity urging the free world to stand with the Iranian people.

In downtown Los Angeles, demonstrators marched with banners calling for freedom and international action, echoing concerns that Iranians “cannot keep fighting and getting killed” without stronger global support. Protesters emphasized the urgent need for meaningful U.S. engagement as the death toll inside Iran continues to rise.

These rallies are part of a worldwide movement spanning more than 30 countries and 73 cities. Solidarity marches across Europe, North America, Asia, and Australia demonstrate that the global community refuses to stand by as the Iranian government uses violence and intimidation to silence its people.

Today, the question is no longer whether the world is watching — it is whether the United States will act.

That is why I am urging you today to Fax Congress and demand they VOTE YES on H.R. 2614, the Maximum Support Act.

This critical legislation would increase pressure on the Iranian regime, strengthen support for the Iranian people, and ensure the United States stands firmly with those risking their lives for freedom. The courage of Iranian protesters demands more than symbolic statements — it demands decisive action.

By supporting H.R. 2614, Congress can help amplify the voices of the Iranian people and send a clear message that America stands with them in their struggle for liberty.

Now is the moment to speak out and save lives.
Please FAX CONGRESS NOW and demand they PASS the Maximum Support Act.
