Last month, Trump confirmed that the US had sent \u201ca lot\u201d of firearms to Iranian protesters during the nationwide unrest that erupted in late 2025. However, the guns were supposedly stolen, according to Trump, and Washington\u2019s efforts to spark regime change in the country have consistently failed, even after assassinating Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in February.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>        Read more<\/p>\n<p>            US aims to \u2018destroy Iran\u2019s future\u2019 \u2013 analyst<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDo it again,\u201d Graham demanded, adding that \u201cI love the idea of empowering the Iranian people with weapons.\u201d He further fantasized that the plan would make life \u201chell\u201d for the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and that \u201cit\u2019s one thing to be bombed by America. It\u2019s another thing to have your neighbor shoot back at you.\u201d<br \/>\nThe South Carolina senator\u2019s latest call to orchestrate mass social unrest within the Islamic Republic comes after years of him advocating the destruction of Iran\u2019s government, demanding that the US military \u201cdestroy the air force, sink their navy,\u201d urging not to \u201cunderrate killing them all,\u201d and calling for the country to be blown \u201coff the map.\u201d<br \/>\nMeanwhile, geostrategic analyst Christopher Helali, who recently returned from inside Iran, told RT on Sunday that the US and Israel\u2019s ultimate goal is \u201cnot about liberating the Iranian people\u201d but about \u201cdestroying Iran\u2019s future,\u201d pointing to the deliberate strikes on civilian infrastructure, including medical facilities, schools, and universities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lindsey Graham has pitched a \u201cSecond Amendment solution\u201d for the Islamic Republic, reviving a failed covert scheme to arm protestors with guns US President Donald Trump should send large amounts&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":34819,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"rop_custom_images_group":[],"rop_custom_messages_group":[],"rop_publish_now":"initial","rop_publish_now_accounts":[],"rop_publish_now_history":[],"rop_publish_now_status":"pending","footnotes":""},"categories":[4,6,3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-34818","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-economy","category-environment","category-politics"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t<!-- All in One SEO 5.0.3 -
