Jeb Bush heaps praise on Trump's 'unprecedented support' for Iranians 10 years after heated primary

This week, détente appeared to emerge between the two as Bush heaped praise on Trump's position after the president urged Iranian "patriots [to] keep protesting."

"Take over your institutions. Save the names of the killers and abusers. They will pay a big price," Trump wrote on Truth Social on Tuesday.

"UANI applauds President Trump's unprecedented support of the people of Iran as they fight to reclaim their country," Bush and Wallace said in a statement.

"For far too long, the United States and the West have equivocated in expressing support for the people of Iran in the face of the Ayatollah's violence and repression."

"President Trump's post made clear that no longer will the United States and the West lack the moral clarity to support the people of Iran as they face bullets for freedom. That change is historic."

"UANI joins with President Trump and stands with the brave people of Iran in their struggle against the Ayatollah," Bush and Wallace added.

Their group is a nonprofit, nonpartisan one, formed to combat threats posed by Iran.

The tenor between the two Republican stalwarts is a marked change from the turbulent 2016 sweeps.

Fox News Digital reached out to the White House for comment on the two leaders' new common ground.

On Iran, a senior administration official said the administration supports the people of Iran against the regime's continued human rights abuses and authoritarian repression, and that the regime is one of the world's worst violators of human rights, oppressing its people to maintain its grip on power.
