Joe Wilson, a long-serving member of the U.S. Congress representing South Carolina's 2nd district, recently shared a series of tweets addressing significant political developments. Wilson, who has been in office since replacing Floyd Spence in 2001 and previously served in the South Carolina Senate, commented on issues involving Iran and recent changes within the U.S. Department of Defense.

On January 25, 2025, Joe Wilson tweeted about the situation in Iran, stating that "Iran’s Supreme Leader knows these could be the last days of his regime—that is why @JZarif now begging Pres Trump for negotiations in such a humiliating fashion." He expressed confidence that maximum pressure sanctions combined with support for the Iranian people would lead to a "Free Iran," attributing this potential outcome to President Trump's policies.

Later that day, at 01:39:43 UTC, Wilson reiterated his belief in an impending change in Iran's political landscape by tweeting "I believe we will see a #FreeIran before the end of President Trump’s administration."
