But the problem is that the very moderates that these politicians praise are no different to the so-called hardliners, comprising the Revolutionary Guard Corps (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/news\/inside-irans-army-of-terror-and-oppression-revolutionary-guards-irgc\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">IRGC<\/a>) and Supreme Leader <a href=\"https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/2020\/10\/24\/who-is-ali-khamenei-iranian-regime-supreme-leader\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ali Khamenei<\/a>.

After all, in the intervening years, Iran has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/ncri-statements\/iran-protests\/27081-over-1-500-killed-in-the-iranian-people-s-nationwide-uprising-names-of-504-martyrs-released\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">killed thousands of protesters<\/a>, something documented by Amnesty International, was the subject of a nuclear deal designed to prevent them creating missiles and increased its regional conflict.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2021, it is likely that Rouhani will be replaced by someone who doesn\u2019t even bother to hide their hardliner status, especially given the purge of moderates in early 2020. While there is no difference between the two, it may be this that causes the West to break with Iran and recognize their fascism for what it is. The West should not be worried about business deals that will likely have to end or try to convince the US to re-join the nuclear deal, which it left in 2018 because of breaches by Iran that were ignored by the other signatories but embrace this as a chance to champion human rights both in Iran and around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere, but the regime has made clear that when they feel emboldened by a lack of appropriate response to abuses of their citizens, they will enact abuses in other countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Iranian Resistance <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/news\/human-rights\/iran-eus-appeasement-policy-and-its-consequences\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">said<\/a>: \u201cThis is not a regime made up of hardliners and reformists jostling for dominance; it is an irredeemable religious dictatorship wherein both factions swear loyalty to a single ruling theocrat while working together to bamboozle foreign adversaries into turning a blind eye to his agenda in hopes of promoting domestic reforms that will never come.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When President of the regime Hassan Rouhani came to power in 2013, Western governments heralded it as a sign of moderation in Iran, but eight years in it is obvious that nothing has changed in Iran.
