Trump doesn't want to "help", but if he can do a quick show of force that makes him look strong and doesn't bog down the US military in a prolonged campaign, I believe he will take it. And I believe some Iranians would welcome it.
Thats a big if, especially for a president who campaigned on ending wars.
knowing several Iranians, i believe your second assumption is accurate, even though the only thing they agree with Trump on is their hatred of the mullahs.
When people start to come together based on shared principles and not hatred then we might see an end to this violence.
He campaigned on never ending wars and the wars he was going to end were Russia/Ukraine and Israel/Hamas. He has laid the option on the table for military strikes against Iran from his first term. For him if he could topple the Regime it would be a historical event that would undo what happened under Jimmy Carter's watch.
Israel/Hamas.
Claiming this is unrelated is either really naive or really disengenuous.
Uh.... What? He said he would get the hostages home and end it. He got almost all the hostages home and dramatically scaled back the entire war. He got buy in from Gulf States.
This war started in 2023. He spent 2024 on it because the Democratic Party became hesitant on Israel support. Its you who is naive and doesnt know what is going on because elections were won and lost with the Jewish Vote in places like New York.
I sympathize with Iranians' situation, but with all due respect, it is hard to believe Trump wants to "help" after the years of economic sanctions that he has imposed on their country.
