Trump Urges Leadership Change in Iran Amid Weeks of Nationwide Protests

United States President Donald Trump has openly called for a change in Iran’s leadership following weeks of sustained protests across the country, signaling a sharp escalation in Washington’s rhetoric toward Tehran.

Speaking amid growing unrest in Iran, Trump suggested that the current leadership has failed to meet the expectations of its people, arguing that the ongoing demonstrations reflect deep public dissatisfaction with governance, economic hardship, and political repression.

The protests, which have reportedly spread across several cities, are said to be driven by worsening living conditions, inflation, and long-standing grievances against the ruling establishment. Despite efforts by Iranian authorities to contain the unrest, public demonstrations have continued.

Trump’s comments have drawn mixed reactions globally, with supporters viewing them as solidarity with Iranian protesters, while critics warn that such statements could heighten tensions and complicate diplomatic efforts.

Iranian officials, on their part, have consistently blamed external forces for the unrest, accusing foreign governments of attempting to destabilize the country.

The development adds another layer to the already strained relationship between the United States and Iran, as international observers closely monitor how the protests and political pressure may shape the country’s future.
