Carol Platt Liebau: A Future for Freedom in Iran?

Wednesday, January 28, 2026

Spontaneous nationwide protests have erupted across the repressive Islamist theocracy of Iran. Ordinary Iranians are demanding not only economic relief, but an end to the Islamic Republic itself.

This is the largest popular uprising Iran has seen in nearly two decades. And the regime is responding with brutal force. Security services are trying to crush dissent through terror. 

And the human toll is staggering. In just weeks, the regime’s crackdown has caused more civilian deaths than two years of fighting in Gaza. Yet legacy media has remained largely silent, with a few notable exceptions.

Iran is home to a rich culture and a proud history. America and President Trump are watching closely. The USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft is in the region. God willing, this time the Iranian people—perhaps with our help—will throw off their oppressors and reclaim a free and hopeful future.
