A year ago, President Donald Trump wrote of his support for the Iranian people’s basic economic and political rights.
“The great Iranian people have been repressed for many years,” he tweeted. “They are hungry for food & for freedom. Along with human rights, the wealth of Iran is being looted. TIME FOR CHANGE!”
Trump has consistently spoken of his support for Iranians and his opposition to the theocratic dictatorship that subjugates them.
“The Iranian regime’s longest-suffering victims are its own people,” he said in a speech in Saudi Arabia to the leaders of more than 50 Muslim nations.
