Iranian-Americans backing Trump's strikes in hopes Ayatollah's regime will end
Many Iranian-Americans have expressed support for Trump's recent US military strikes in Iran, hoping these actions could weaken or topple the rule of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
Supporters, including Simone Derayeh, view the strikes as a necessary step against the Iranian regime, which they describe as oppressive and holding the Iranian people hostage.
Some Iranian-Americans, like Alireza and Elham Yaghoubian, believe the attacks are beneficial, with a weakened Islamic Republic potentially leading to regime change.
Elham Yaghoubian argues that while most Iranians do not want war, only the removal of the current regime will bring peace and prosperity to Iran.
Despite widespread support among some, other Iranian-Americans, such as Reza Rofougaran, condemn the attacks on their home country, even while opposing the Islamic regime.
