Trump’s Hypocritical Tears for Iranians Draw Global Condemnation
According to the International Desk of Webangah News Agency, U.S. President Donald Trump sparked international backlash after a social media post warned that America would ‘act in support’ of Iranian protesters if the government used violence against them. The statement, widely condemned as hypocritical, came amid scrutiny of Trump’s harsh crackdown on domestic demonstrations in the U.S., including an AI-generated video depicting him bombing protesters.
Social media users globally criticized Trump’s double standards, noting his recent meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and accusing him of being a ‘puppet’ of the regime. Many highlighted the suppression of U.S. protests over inflation and immigration policies, contrasting it with his sudden concern for Iranian demonstrators.
Images accompanying the report showed international reactions, including one user stating, ‘Regional security is tied to Iran’s security—if Iran is unsafe, Arab countries in the Persian Gulf won’t be either.’ Others condemned Trump’s ‘warmongering rhetoric,’ warning it risks plunging the region into another catastrophic war.
Critics also pointed to Trump’s silence on Gaza’s destruction and Syria’s humanitarian crises, calling his sudden advocacy for Iranian protesters a ‘ridiculous show.’ One post emphasized, ‘Iran has the right to defend itself against Israeli aggression and Washington’s puppet regime.’
The backlash underscored global skepticism toward Trump’s motives, with users citing Libya, Iraq, and Afghanistan as examples of U.S. interventions that brought chaos rather than salvation.
