本周唐纳德·特朗普总统暗示，如果伊朗人拥有武器，他们“会奋起反抗”，在此之后，伊朗反对派、军事分析师以及一些共和党议员正公开重拾一个一度被视为禁忌的问题：西方是否应该放弃对德黑兰的“最大施压”政策，转而积极支持伊朗境内的武装抵抗？
“他们必须拥有武器。我认为他们已经获得了一些武器。一旦他们拥有武器，他们就会像当地任何人一样勇猛作战，”特朗普在接受《休·休伊特秀》采访时说道，当时他正在谈论反政权抗议活动以及伊朗政府对抗议者的镇压。
此番言论发表之际，伊朗政权因数周战事而实力削弱，而多年来的抗议失败以及伊斯兰革命卫队的暴力镇压，仍在许多伊朗民众中积聚着不满情绪。

支持更强硬立场的人士辩称，制裁、外交以及非武装示威未能在伊朗境内带来有意义的变革，并表示当前时刻可能是数十年来从内部挑战该政权的最佳机会。批评者则警告，公开讨论武装抵抗可能危及抗议者、加剧反对派内部的分裂，并可能将伊朗推向内战。
武装抵抗的理念呼应了里根主义的部分内容，这一冷战时期的战略让美国在全球范围内支持反苏联抵抗运动，从阿富汗到尼加拉瓜都有涉及。
“我们现在就需要向伊朗人提供工具，他们自己就能完成任务，”Powerus创始人、曾专注于无人机战争的美国军事和情报专家布雷特·韦利科维奇告诉福克斯新闻数字频道。
“现在是他们采取行动的时候了。这是前所未有的好机会。”

韦利科维奇将这一战略称为“2.0版里根主义”，针对无人机和去中心化战争时代进行了更新。
“廉价的第一人称视角无人机、游荡弹药和轻武器，能让有斗志的战士将伊朗的街道和山脉变成伊斯兰革命卫队的噩梦，”他说。“这不是幻想；这是行之有效的不对称战争。”
他认为，现代无人机技术从根本上改变了政府与叛乱或抵抗运动之间的力量平衡。
“无人机让权力民主化，”韦利科维奇说。“当民众拥有空中监视和精确打击能力时，政权对暴力的垄断就宣告终结。”

尽管如此，即便一些批评伊朗政权的人士也警告，与冷战时期的代理运动相比，这种类比存在局限性。
与20世纪80年代受苏联控制的东欧或阿富汗不同，伊朗是一个高度民族主义的国家，反对派四分五裂，且在经历了数十年中东地区的冲突后，民众对外国干预深感恐惧。
尽管如此，对反政权势力提供更直接支持的呼声，正日益进入共和党主流外交政策讨论的范畴。
南卡罗来纳州共和党参议员林赛·格雷厄姆近日呼吁在伊朗境内实施他所称的“第二修正案解决方案”。
“如果我是特朗普总统，同时我也是以色列，我会为伊朗人民提供大量武器，这样他们就能武装起来走上街头，扭转伊朗国内的战局，”格雷厄姆在《汉尼蒂》节目中说道。
然而，究竟谁能实际获得支持，仍是一个极具争议的问题。

一些反对派支持者仍聚集在流亡的伊朗王储礼萨·巴列维周围，他的名字在伊朗国内的反政权抗议活动中被提及，他曾敦促国际社会不要给德黑兰“又一条救命稻草”。
另一个曾以各种行动对抗该政权的团体是颇具争议的伊朗人民圣战者组织（MEK），长期以来该组织一直将自己定位为反对伊斯兰共和国的有组织反对派力量。伊朗人民圣战者组织近日发布视频，展示其成员袭击“政权犯罪和镇压的中心与象征”，以报复上月两名该组织成员——哈米德·瓦利迪和穆罕默德（尼马）·马苏姆-沙希——被处决。
还有人则提到了现有的武装或半有组织的反政权团体，包括库尔德组织、俾路支叛乱网络以及在伊朗境内活动的地下抵抗细胞。
希瓦基金会主任、现居美国的前伊朗摔跤冠军萨尔达·帕沙伊警告称，公开讨论为抗议者提供武器本身就可能危及生命。
“我认为我们在这个问题上必须极其谨慎，尤其是在公开场合，因为政权可以以此为借口逮捕抗议者、捏造罪名，甚至为处决行为辩护，”帕沙伊告诉福克斯新闻数字频道。

“数十年来，伊斯兰共和国一直利用与美国、以色列勾结或从事间谍活动的指控来打击异见人士和政治犯。”
帕沙伊认为，更好的做法是支持伊朗民间社会、恢复互联网接入，并 backing 能够反映伊朗种族和政治多样性的民主反对派团体。
4月初，特朗普在接受《福克斯周日新闻》电话采访时称，他的政府此前曾尝试通过库尔德渠道向伊朗抗议者运送枪支，但行动失败，这一言论让该问题变得更加敏感。

“我们向抗议者运送了枪支，很多很多。我们通过库尔德人运送的。我认为库尔德人接收了这些枪支，”特朗普说。
多个库尔德团体否认收到过此类武器 shipments。
帕沙伊警告称，外国武器支持的说法可能会加剧反对派内部的分裂，同时也会让库尔德团体面临德黑兰更猛烈的报复。
“在所谓的停火期间，库尔德反对派团体遭到了30多次无人机和导弹袭击，”他说，并补充称有四名年轻的库尔德佩什梅加战士被杀，其中包括19岁的加扎勒·莫兰。

一位熟悉伊朗反对派战略讨论的消息人士称，支持更强硬立场的人士越来越认为，当前时刻是一个难得的机会，可以识别、训练和支持当地的抵抗网络，这些网络能够保护抗议者并从内部挑战政权。
该消息人士辩称，尽管伊朗花了数十年时间在中东各地建立和培育代理网络，但西方政府基本上没有在伊朗境内投资有组织的反政权基础设施。
其他人则警告称，武装派系的崛起可能会引发伊朗境内的民族分裂、内战或类似叙利亚的冲突。
根据该消息人士的说法，支持更强硬立场的人士越来越认为，当前时刻是一个难得的机会，可以识别、训练和支持当地的抵抗网络，这些网络能够保护抗议者并从内部挑战政权。
美国政府是否愿意放弃施压运动和制裁，转向更接近现代化版里根主义的政策，目前仍不明朗。

目前，特朗普的言论将一度仅停留在理论层面的讨论公开化，而一些人则认为，当前时刻可能是数十年来挑战该政权的最佳机会。

Iranian dissidents seize on Trump remarks about armed resistance, fueling revival of Reagan doctrine
May 7, 2026 4:17pm EDT / Fox News
Sen Lindsey Graham recently called for what he described as a ‘Second Amendment solution’ inside Iran
Sen Lindsey Graham calls for ‘Second Amendment solution’ for the Iranian people
Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., discusses what could be next in the conflict on ‘Hannity.’
NEW You can now listen to Fox News articles!
After President Donald Trump suggested this week that Iranians “would fight back” if they had weapons, Iranian dissidents, military analysts and some Republican lawmakers are openly reviving a once-taboo question: should the West move beyond “maximum pressure” on Tehran and actively support armed resistance inside Iran?
“They have to have guns. And I think they’re getting some guns. As soon as they have guns, they’ll fight like, as good as anybody there is,” Trump said in an interview with “The Hugh Hewitt Show,” while discussing anti-regime unrest and the Iranian government’s crackdown on protesters.
The comments come as the Iranian regime emerges weakened from weeks of war, while frustration continues to simmer among many Iranians after years of failed protests and violent crackdowns by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
LINDSEY GRAHAM URGES US, ISRAEL TO ARM IRANIAN CIVILIANS IN ‘SECOND AMENDMENT SOLUTION’ TO TOPPLE REGIME

Supporters of a more aggressive approach argue sanctions, diplomacy and unarmed demonstrations have failed to produce meaningful change inside Iran and say the current moment may represent the best opportunity in decades to challenge the regime from within. Critics warn that openly discussing armed resistance could endanger protesters, deepen divisions inside the opposition and risk pushing Iran toward civil war.
The idea of armed resistance echoes aspects of the Reagan Doctrine, the Cold War-era strategy in which the U.S. backed anti-Soviet resistance movements around the world, from Afghanistan to Nicaragua.
“We need to give Iranians the tools now, and they’ll finish the job themselves,” Brett Velicovich, founder of Powerus and a former U.S. military and intelligence specialist focused on drone warfare, told Fox News Digital.
“It’s their time to do something. There has never been a better chance.”

Velicovich described the strategy as “Reagan Doctrine 2.0,” updated for the age of drones and decentralized warfare.
“Cheap FPV drones, loitering munitions, and small arms let motivated fighters turn Iran’s streets and mountains into a nightmare for the IRGC,” he said. “This isn’t fantasy; it’s asymmetric warfare that works.”
He argued that modern drone technology has fundamentally changed the balance between governments and insurgent or resistance movements.
“Drones democratize power,” Velicovich said. “The regime’s monopoly on violence ends the day the people get eyes in the sky and precision strike capability.”

Still, even some critics of the Iranian regime caution that the comparison to Cold War proxy movements has limits.
Unlike Soviet-controlled Eastern Europe or Afghanistan in the 1980s, Iran is a highly nationalistic country with a fragmented opposition and deep fears of foreign intervention following decades of conflict across the Middle East.
Still, calls for more direct support for anti-regime forces are increasingly moving into mainstream Republican foreign policy discussions.
Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., recently called for what he described as a “Second Amendment solution” inside Iran.
“If I were President Trump and I were Israel, I would load the Iranian people up with weapons so they could go to the streets armed and turn the tide of battle inside Iran,” Graham said on “Hannity.”
The question of who would actually receive support, however, remains deeply controversial.

Some opposition supporters continue to rally around exiled Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi, whose name has surfaced during anti-regime protests inside Iran and who has urged the international community not to give Tehran “another lifeline.”
Another group that has acted in various operations against the regime is the controversial People’s Mujahedin Organization of Iran, or MEK, which has long positioned itself as an organized opposition force against the Islamic Republic. The MEK recently posted videos showing its members targeting “regime centers and symbols of crime and repression,” in response to the execution of two of its members last month — Hamed Validi and Mohammad (Nima) Massoum-Shahi.
Others point to existing armed or semi-organized anti-regime groups, including Kurdish organizations, Baloch insurgent networks and underground resistance cells operating inside Iran.
Sardar Pashaei, director of the Hiwa Foundation and a former Iranian wrestling champion now living in the United States, warned that publicly discussing arming protesters could itself put lives at risk.
“I think we must be extremely cautious on this issue, especially publicly, because the regime can use it as a pretext to arrest protesters, fabricate cases and even justify executions,” Pashaei told Fox News Digital.
IRAN’S INTERNET BLACKOUT HIDING STRIKE DAMAGE AND SUPPRESSING DISSENT, ISRAELI OFFICIALS SAY

“For decades, the Islamic Republic has used accusations of ties to the United States, Israel, or espionage to target dissidents and political prisoners.”
Pashaei argued the better approach is supporting Iranian civil society, restoring internet access and backing democratic opposition groups that reflect Iran’s ethnic and political diversity.
The issue became even more sensitive after Trump said during a phone interview with “Fox News Sunday” in early April that his administration had previously attempted to send firearms to Iranian protesters through Kurdish channels, though the effort failed.

“We sent guns to the protesters, a lot of them. We sent them through the Kurds. And I think the Kurds took the guns,” Trump said.
Several Kurdish groups have denied receiving such shipments.
Pashaei warned that claims of foreign weapons support could deepen divisions inside the opposition while also exposing Kurdish groups to further retaliation from Tehran.
“During the so-called ceasefire period, Kurdish opposition groups were targeted more than 30 times with drone and missile attacks,” he said, adding that four young Kurdish Peshmerga fighters were killed, including 19-year-old Ghazal Mowlan.

One source familiar with discussions surrounding Iranian opposition strategy said supporters of a more aggressive approach increasingly believe the current moment presents a rare opportunity to identify, train and support local resistance networks capable of protecting protesters and challenging the regime from within.
The source argued that while Iran spent decades building and cultivating proxy networks across the Middle East, Western governments largely avoided investing in organized anti-regime infrastructure inside Iran itself.
Others warn that empowering armed factions could trigger ethnic fragmentation, civil war or a Syria-style conflict inside Iran.
According to the source, supporters of a more aggressive approach increasingly believe the current moment presents a rare opportunity to identify, train and support local resistance networks capable of protecting protesters and challenging the regime from within.
Whether Washington is willing to move beyond pressure campaigns and sanctions toward something closer to a modernized Reagan Doctrine remains unclear.

For now, Trump’s comments have pushed a once-theoretical conversation into the open, while some argue the current moment may represent the best opportunity in decades to challenge the regime.
