Iran Guard Urges Americans to Protest Trump Policies

Iran’s Revolutionary Guard has urged Americans to protest President Donald Trump’s policies and reconsider their elected leaders, saying the war can end only if Washington admits defeat and withdraws. The appeal comes ahead of U.S. midterm elections, as Trump says the United States will win the still-ongoing war soon, after repeatedly claiming it was already over or nearing a settlement. Iran’s currency has also fallen to a record low amid the conflict, adding to signs of economic strain. Separately, the debate over U.S. policy is expanding beyond pressuring Tehran for specific concessions: some officials and analysts argue that lasting regional stability may require political change in Iran, though the Trump administration has not formally made regime change its objective.
