Trump’s Iranian protester assist: Letters – Latest News
The Issue: President Trump’s warnings to Iran’s rulers about lethal responses to anti-regime protests.
President Trump has indicated his willingness to step in and take an lively function in securing security for the Iranian people (“US to aid ‘freedom’ fight,” Jan. 11).
“Boots on the ground” has not been his favored expression of peacekeeping, and the extent of unrest in Iran means it will take a massive drive to secure peace, one thing Trump is unlikely to undertake. The most secure resolution will come from political and financial pressures.
Regardless, I see a very totally different conclusion in sight as in comparison with when Barack Obama was president and such demonstrations occurred in Iran.

Outside intervention will solely enable the rulers to impose stronger measures towards protesters, claiming it’s required to counter the “invasion.”

If Washington does resolve to strike Iran, I recommend dropping leaflets on Tehran and different Iranian cities. One potential message might be, “Early retirement for Khamenei.”

Trump’s menace to Iranian leaders saying, “you better not start shooting because we’ll start shooting, too,” makes me surprise why he hasn’t made comparable threats to Vladimir Putin, whose military has killed more than 2,000 Ukrainian civilians since Trump was inaugurated.

I assume Iran didn’t get the trace when Trump bombed its nuclear services.
The Iranian people are struggling with an unlivable economic system and the denial of human rights. There are actually huge protests in Iranian cities, simply as when Obama was president, however turned his back on the Iranian people. No more liberal appeasing of the enemy with Trump as president.

The Issue: Mayor Mamdani calling the death of Renee Nicole Good a homicide.
Is Mayor Mamdani going to proceed to provide his unsolicited opinions on points occurring exterior New York City (“Mamdani’s ‘Murder’ Mess,” Editorial, Jan 8)?
Did he truly review the videotapes exhibiting the occasion, so he might say it was a homicide, or did he simply opine primarily based on a employees briefing?
Remember when he misspoke final week, implying he was “briefed” by the White House on Nicolás Maduro’s seize, however when additional questioned, revealed it was his own employees who “briefed” him?
I concern Mamdani expressing opinions and feedback on topics he’s not versed in can be a persevering with theme. He will opine primarily based on what his socialist-minded employees inform him.

Once again, Mamdani is true on this situation in saying, “As ICE attacks our neighbors across America, it is an attack on us all.” Amen to that.
Sadly, The Post has chosen to take President Trump’s aspect, when it must be agreeing with Mamdani.
May Renee Nicole Good relaxation in peace, and disgrace on all of the ICE apologists who don’t know the distinction between proper and flawed.
