JD Vance says regime change is the responsibility of the Iranian people, and that the United States will negotiate a nuclear deal with the Islamic Republic. President Donald Trump told Iranians to take to the streets and take control of their institutions, promising he would not allow the regime to kill them. The people came out. The regime carried out a massacre. Then came the promise that help was on the way — and repeated assurances that there would be no negotiations. An American military buildup followed. The world expected action against the regime’s repressive apparatus. Instead, nuclear negotiations began. Many believed that at minimum, the mass killing of Iranian civilians would be part of the talks. But now the message is clear: the only issue that matters to Washington is the nuclear file. If the lives of tens of thousands of Iranians who believed in U.S. assurances are reduced to leverage in a nuclear negotiation, history will judge this moment harshly. The people of Iran will not forget.
