Trump still thinks Iranians will ‘rise up’ against the regime. In Tehran I see a different story | Hossein Hamdieh
Summary
Hossein Hamdieh, a social researcher based in Tehran, argues that the US strategy of encouraging Iranians to rise against their government is failing. Drawing on conversations with people in Iran’s startup and digital sectors rather than representative polling, he says US military action and civilian casualties are increasing hostility toward America and Israel. Some Iranians who oppose the Islamic Republic are nevertheless supporting its resistance to foreign attack. Hamdieh concludes that nationalism and anti-imperialism may be strengthening, making a US-backed uprising less likely.

Biblical Context
The article’s subject has an indirect biblical connection through the recurring biblical concerns of war, civilian suffering, and the pursuit of peace. Scripture condemns the destructive consequences of conflict and commends peacemaking, but the supplied article does not provide a basis for identifying a specific prophetic fulfillment. The author’s account of Iranian public opinion should therefore be treated as contemporary political analysis, not as evidence that a biblical prophecy is being fulfilled.
