[50993] Donald Trump declares: 'The Iranian people must have weapons to fight the regime'

Trump's statements on arming the Iranian people

During remarks published today (May 5, 2026), former US President Donald Trump addressed the options available to opponents of the regime in Iran. According to a report on Abu Ali Express, a channel that presents a critical line toward Iran and the Revolutionary Guards and supports a firm Israeli narrative, Trump emphasized that "the people of Iran must have all the weapons," and added his assessment that "the moment they have weapons, they will fight like anyone else."

At the same time, the News Israel IL channel, which covers events from a perspective that supports Prime Minister Netanyahu and the American administration's policy under Trump, added details on the President's words. According to News Israel IL, Trump claimed that past attempts to provide weaponry to protesters were unsuccessful: "The moment they have guns, you will see them going out to demonstrate, we already sent them weapons but other people took it."

These statements are generating great interest in light of the growing security tension in the region. While the reporting channels present Trump's words as active support for regime change in Tehran, the President's words reflect an approach that encourages armed uprising as a tool for toppling the Iranian government.
