Anti-Regime Iranians Voice Fury Over Emerging US-Iran Deal

An emerging peace agreement between the United States and Iran, announced by President Donald Trump, has triggered anger and deep frustration among many anti-regime citizens inside Iran, according to Iran International. The report says many Iranians now distrust both foreign powers and Trump, and see the renewed diplomacy as a political move that comes at the expense of ordinary people rather than a path to stability.

The backlash comes amid severe pressure inside Iran, including soaring inflation, rising unemployment, and ongoing political repression. The station said many messages from viewers described mental exhaustion after years of overlapping crises, poverty, and frequent reports of executions of political prisoners. Some said any deal that legitimizes the current system would amount to a serious betrayal, especially because the Islamic Republic has prevented free protest for decades.

Several respondents rejected reliance on Washington and called for change from within Iran. One wrote, “We no longer place our hopes in Trump... we will finish the job ourselves.” Another said, “Trump’s decisions should not matter to us. We ourselves must overthrow the Islamic Republic from inside the country.” The comments also expressed opposition to a temporary 60-day ceasefire, with one person summing up the mood by saying the agreement shows that “we, the people, have become victims of politics.”

The report portrays Trump as having told Iranians, “we are on the way,” while now preparing to sign a deal with what critics describe as the oppressive regime. It presents the public reaction as one of profound disappointment and distrust, with some readers viewing the agreement as a direct blow to the opposition movement.
