Testing Trump's Iron Fist
Iran Rushes to Hang Protester Erfan Soltani (26) Today
As U.S. forces brace and Israel eyes Hezbollah's weakening, the world watches: Will Trump unleash precision strikes on regime thugs, cyber ops to arm protesters, or tariffs crippling Iran's oil? Soltani's fate could ignite the end, proving Trump's "America First" means no mercy for butchers. The mullahs' rope tightens around their own necks; freedom's dawn breaks for Iran.
In a grotesque act of barbarism that spits in the face of global decency, Iran's crumbling theocratic regime is barreling toward the execution of 26-year-old protester Erfan Soltani today, the first public hanging tied to the nationwide uprising against the ayatollahs' tyrannical rule. Arrested just last Thursday in Karaj for daring to demand freedom, Soltani was railroaded through a sham "trial" in mere days, denied a lawyer, and slapped with the bogus charge of "waging war against God."
This savage move directly challenges President Donald Trump's explicit warning of "very strong action" if Tehran starts executing demonstrators, as the death toll from the regime's massacre surges past 2,400 innocents slaughtered in cold blood.
Soltani, a hardworking textile shopkeeper from Fardis near Karaj, embodies the regime's victims: Ordinary Iranians fed up with economic ruin, corruption, and oppression under Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei's iron fist. Snatched from his home on January 8 or 9, he endured a kangaroo court that wrapped up in 48 hours, no defense, no justice, just a death sentence by hanging, Iran's preferred method of terror.
His heartbroken family got a paltry 10-minute farewell, with a relative pleading to the U.S.: "People trusted Trump's words and took to the streets. I beg you, don't let him be executed." Human rights watchdogs like Hengaw and Iran Human Rights (IHRNGO) warn this is just the start, with thousands more detainees facing similar fates amid a communications blackout hiding mass graves and hospital raids.
Trump, unyielding in his support for Iran's freedom fighters, has already axed all meetings with Iranian officials and blasted the mullahs in a CBS interview: "If they hang them, you're going to see some things. We're going to take very strong action if they do such a thing." As protesters in 180 cities chant for the Pahlavi monarchy's restoration and "Death to the dictator," the regime's desperation reeks—labeling heroes like Soltani "terrorists" while exporting real terror via proxies like Hezbollah and Hamas. With over 18,000 arrested and unverified estimates fearing up to 12,000 dead, Tehran's threats of striking U.S. bases ring hollow, a last gasp from a failing death cult facing internal collapse and external reckoning.
Amnesty International and global voices demand a halt, but the ayatollahs' defiance exposes their terror: Not justice, but genocide to quash a revolution.
