Weekly Commentary: Trump's Unprecedented Threat to Iran Over the Killing of Protesters
Weekly Commentary: Trump’s Unprecedented Threat to Iran Over the Killing of
Protesters
Dr. Aaron Lerner 2 January 2026
“If Iran shoots and violently kills peaceful protesters, which is their
custom, the United States of America will come to their rescue. We are
locked and loaded and ready to go. Thank you for your attention to this
matter!”
President DONALD J. TRUMP
2 January 2026, Truth Social
As far as I can tell, no American president has ever issued such a clear
warning to a foreign country regarding the consequences of killing peaceful
protesters.
I am not going to engage in speculation as to whether Mr. Trump’s team will
resort to hyper-technical analyses of each incident in which protesters are
killed in order to avoid being put to the test.
#1. Was the shooter a true representative of the Iranian regime?
#2. Were those killed truly “protesters”?
#3. Were they 100 percent “peaceful”?
I will suggest only this: if, in the coming days, more Iranian protesters
are killed and no action is taken to come to their rescue – despite the
declaration that “we are locked and loaded and ready to go” – this may
undermine the deterrent effect of other warnings issued by President Trump.
And that could be very dangerous for all of us.
