The [entity] has increased its criticism of Iran’s regime on its Persian-language account since the start of nationwide protests against the Ayatollahs in Tehran, echoing President Trump’s strong warning to Tehran.

Trump recently posted, “If Iran shoots (sic) and violently kills peaceful protesters, which is their custom, the United States of America will come to their rescue. We are [phrase missing] to go. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP.”

“President Trump’s latest Truth Social post regarding Iran says it all,” a U.S. State Department spokesperson told [organization name] Digital on Tuesday.

The State Department’s reinforcement of Trump’s promise to assist Iranian demonstrators comes as reports indicate that protesters took control of many streets in Abdanan, in Ilam province in [country missing], on Tuesday. They chanted “Death to Khamenei” and “This year is a year of blood, Seyed Ali (Khamenei) will be overthrown,” according to videos sent to Iran International news organization.

The U.S. [entity], @USABehFarsi, seemed to issue a blunt warning to Iran’s totalitarian rulers. “President Trump is a man of action. If you didn’t know before, now you do. Don’t mess with President Trump.” The black and white picture showed Trump with his leadership team watching elite U.S. army forces seize the former Iran-backed Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro.

Trump’s social media posts and the statements from the State Department’s account have emboldened Iranians both inside and outside the country.

Potkin Azarmehr, a British-Iranian journalist, noted the difference from previous administrations. “Well, what a contrast to Obama’s time when protesters in Iran in 2009 were angrily chanting, ‘Obama, are you with us or with them?’ Any international support, whether at the grassroots or government level, is encouraging. Knowing that the world knows about you,” he added, “The question is where are the Western activist elite protesters? Why aren’t they protesting? Are they on the side of the Ayatollahs? An archaic religious apartheid?”

Iran analyst, Alirzeza Nader, said, “I think the State is right to say that the alternative to the current regime will come from within Iran. And that Iranians will choose their own leaders. Yes, it’s definitely better now. Unfortunately, the Obama and Biden administrations pushed the reformist line (the Reformist line espoused by Rouhani and Khatami). My advice to the Trump administration: stay neutral regarding the opposition’s leadership. Let Iranians figure it out.”

The former Iranian presidents, Hassan Rouhani and Mohammad Khatami, promised minor reforms but remain committed to the Islamic Republic of Iran — a regime that has been repeatedly designated by the State Department as a major state-sponsor of terrorism.

Nadav Mohebb, who worked as a Persian media analyst for the State Department’s Public Affairs Bureau, said about the State Department’s Persian-language X account that “During the Biden administration, this account was effectively turned into a ghost town and largely lost its relevance and impact.”

He said that, “Following President Trump’s recent tweet, we have seen a renewed level of activity similar to his first term — an approach that has once again drawn the attention of Iranians. Trump’s message effectively removed the account’s excessive caution, and over the past four days its anti-regime tone has明显增强.”

Mohebb said that “The account should avoid getting involved in opposition infighting, remain sensitive to Iranian public sentiment, and operate in line with the prevailing mood of Persian Twitter. I hope Trump’s warning message to the regime will serve as a catalyst for improving the messaging strategy of this account and restoring its former effectiveness.”

Reza Parchizadeh, an Iranian-American expert on the regime, said, “The State Department’s Persian-language account is performing effectively. Its messaging is deliberately structured to project a sense of American support and hope towards Iranian protesters, while also trying to reflect the breadth and diversity of protest activity rather than treating it episodically or selectively. In itself, this represents a significant shift in approach.”

He noted that, “The Obama era was fundamentally different in orientation and intent. That administration prioritized reaching a diplomatic accommodation with the Islamic Republic and reintegrating the regime into the international system. Within that framework, popular protests and organized opposition inside Iran were largely downplayed by the State Department to avoid complicating negotiations or signaling regime vulnerability.”

It should be noted that there are some parts in the original text that seem to be incomplete or unclear (such as “[entity]”, “[organization name]”, “[country missing]”, “[phrase missing]”, “明显增强” which is in Chinese), and I have tried my best to make sense of and rephrase the text based on the overall context.
