That was then, this is now.

The regime is using Trump’s statements about attacking cultural sights in order to quash the positive posts & enthusiasm for Trump, expressed just days before.
An easy way for the regime to reign in & unify the people against Trump, because although the regime doesn’t care about the antiquities, the people feel very strongly about them.
> “Trump: “They’re allowed to use roadside bombs and blow up our people, and we’re not allowed to touch their cultural sites?” he said. “It doesn’t work that way.”
Trump knows what he is doing. Cultural sites used as human shields for regime leaders will not work.

The Iranian people are NOT stupid. They are actually much smarter than most realize. They know exactly what Trump is saying.
They know Trump is setting a conditional “IF - THEN” the American retaliation will take out the regime leaders even is they hide in a cherished cultural site.
The response of the Iranian people to their hated regime will be to “Stop the attacks, the terrorism!” “You are inviting destruction of our ancient Persian culture!”
The Iranian people know if regime criminals are killed while hiding in cultural sites, the blame goes to the regime, not to America because America is defending itself and its people.
If the Iranian People rise up and overthrow the terrorist dictators, there ancient culture will be safe.
Trump is brilliant.
