U.S. President Donald Trump has called on the Iranian people to rise up against their government amid intensifying tensions in the region.
In a public statement, Trump urged Iranians to remain indoors due to ongoing security risks, warning that the situation outside was dangerous. He suggested that once military operations conclude, citizens should “take over” their government, describing it as an opportunity for change.
The remarks come against the backdrop of escalating hostilities involving Iran, the United States, and its allies, with military actions and retaliatory strikes reported across parts of the Middle East.
There has been no immediate response from Iranian authorities regarding the U.S. president’s comments.
