In a brazen display of anti-American sentiment, Iranian state television broadcast live from New York’s Times Square as radical activists celebrated what they termed Iran’s “victory” over the U.S. and Israel in a recent conflict. This event, filled with Iranian flags and portraits of terrorist leaders, epitomizes the arrogance of a regime that seeks to undermine American influence globally.
The protest, labeled “Operation True Promise,” was a sickening display of support for Iran’s missile attacks on Israel. Iranian operatives in New York lauded the event as proof of their ability to deter American power, showcasing the unyielding resolve of their oppressive regime.
Organized by the extremist Bronx Anti-War Coalition, demonstrators marched through Midtown, brandishing banners proclaiming “Iran’s right to self-defense” while glorifying Iran’s terrorist figures. Their call for dismantling Western military presence in the Middle East is a dangerously naive perspective that endangers our national security.
One masked supporter, who went by “Che,” boasted about the alleged resilience of Iranian forces, claiming their response to aggression energizes groups like Hezbollah. This kind of rhetoric isn’t just outrageous; it openly incites violence where our soldiers are in harm’s way.
Another participant, a self-identified Marxist, stated that Iran is a major player in the fight against “imperialism.” This twisted worldview views our country as the villain, reinforcing the delusion of Iran as a champion of resistance. Such sentiments cannot go unchecked.
The Times Square protest was portrayed by state-controlled Iranian media as a show of solidarity, but it also unmasked a disturbing truth: American radicals were standing in solidarity with a regime that openly sponsors terror. Their ignorance is being weaponized against the West, further amplifying Iran’s propaganda war.
This rally comes at a time when Iran’s internal repression is intensifying. Following what President Trump aptly called the “12-Day War,” the regime has resorted to mass arrests, public executions, and severe crackdowns, particularly in Kurdish regions. They are desperate to project strength amid their own chaos.
It’s time for Americans to recognize the real threat posed by radical elements—both abroad and at home. This gathering is not a symbol of support; it is a stark reminder of how vital it is to stand firm against the forces that wish to destabilize our nation and our allies.
