In a recent interview, former President Donald Trump asserted that ordinary Iranians want the United States to continue bombing Iranian targets, arguing that the civilian suffering would pressure the regime and ultimately bring freedom. Trump offered no verifiable data, merely referring to “numerous intercepts” and anecdotal pleas such as “Please keep bombing bombs that are dropping near their homes.” He framed the attacks as a tool for Iranian protestors, despite the lack of independent corroboration. He quoted unnamed Iranians saying, “they want us to keep bombing even if it jeopardized because their life is in much greater danger,” and claimed the population would “suffer that in order to have freedom.” The remarks, which echo a long‑standing U.S. narrative of using force to foster regime change, risk inflaming diplomatic tensions, misrepresenting Iranian public opinion, and influencing policy debates without factual grounding.
