What to know

  • Trump has publicly asked when Iranians will rise up against their regime, suggesting this may reflect U.S. policy expectations.
  • A social researcher observing from Tehran reports the opposite effect: the war is consolidating Iranian public opinion against foreign intervention.
  • Even historically anti-state business figures and entrepreneurs are becoming outspoken against U.S. and Israeli military actions, driven by images of civilian casualties.

“But if counting on the 'Iranian people' to rise up and fight is indeed US policy then, as far as I can tell from within Iran, it is a failed one. And miserably so.”

    Social researcher reports war is unifying Iran against U.S. instead of sparking uprising

    Hossein Hamdieh, writing from Tehran in The Guardian, argues that Trump's expectation of Iranians rising up against their regime is misguided. Hamdieh, who works with Iranian startups and digital ecosystem, observes that even formerly anti-state voices and influential businesspeople are becoming increasingly outspoken against the U.S. and military actions, driven by images and stories of civilian casualties.

    “When are the Iranian people going to rise up and fight?”
