White House Iran Strategy May Give Voice Back to the Iranian People<\/strong><\/li>\n
The Trump administration\u2019s strategy for dealing with the Islamic Republic of Iran has been notably assertive since Day One.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Generally speaking, this is the right approach, even though it has been largely avoided by previous presidents. By the time the Trump administration took office, decades of damage had been done by Western leaders who were all too keen to cut a deal with the ayatollahs for the sake of short-term, short-sighted gains, or in the misplaced hope of encouraging the regime\u2019s moderation. The US took another clear step\u00a0on Monday\u00a0when Secretary of State Mike Pompeo outlined new measures that will be put into action immediately.<\/p>\n
The impulse toward permissive negotiations with the Iranian regime always came with a high cost. Apart from giving away leverage and normalizing Tehran\u2019s behavior \u2014 as by providing it with large-scale sanctions relief while allowing it to continue its malign conduct \u2014 our dealings with the mullahs have tended to alienate the Iranian people, who are overwhelmingly opposed to the theocratic system under which they have been suffering for nearly 40 years. But the present US administration has not been taken in by the regime\u2019s efforts to downplay this opposition or this suffering. References to both featured prominently in Pompeo\u2019s speech, as well as in various earlier statements by the president.<\/p>\n
Both men have eagerly called attention to popular protests in the Islamic Republic, especially the nationwide uprising that began in December and continued through much of January before being violently suppressed by the Revolutionary Guards. Top Iranian officials repeatedly acknowledged the role of the opposition, namely the People\u2019s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI\/MEK) in fomenting these protests. Despite more than 50 deaths and 8,000 arrests during and immediately after that uprising, scattered protests continue to the present day, and these were also clearly acknowledged by the Secretary of State during his speech.<\/p>\n
In March, Iranian opposition leader\u00a0Maryam Rajavi<\/a>\u00a0predicted that the legacy of the January protests would help to facilitate a \u201cyear full of uprisings\u201d leading to the people\u2019s ultimate victory over the clerical regime.<\/p>\n
It seems clear that the president and his current foreign policy team recognize the potential for change in Iran. The president concluded his speech earlier in May by saying that \u201cgreat things can happen for Iran,\u201d and Pompeo concluded his own by predicting that the forthcoming pressure on the Iranian regime will \u201cbear fruit for the long-suffering Iranian people .\u201d<\/p>\n
The mere promise of that pressure \u2014 and the strategic consistency behind it \u2014 is already going a long way toward bringing the Iranian people further out of the shadows, where international policies toward Iran are concerned. The impulse to compromise with the mullahs has frequently been justified by the assumption that their regime is supported or at least willfully tolerated by much of the population. The recent protests should help to uproot this myth.<\/p>\n
The rest of the international community must join in the endeavor to give a stronger voice to Iranians. Much of the world has been complicit in legitimizing the clerical regime while casting the Iranian people aside. Now, with Washington charting a new course and the Iranian people asserting themselves more loudly than ever, there is perhaps no better time to reverse the trend. There is also perhaps no better opportunity, as the end of the coming month marks the latest international gathering of Iranian expatriates and global policymakers who support a free, democratic future for the Iranian nation.<\/p>\n
The\u00a0 National Council of Resistance of Iran<\/a>\u00a0has scheduled this year\u2019s Iran Freedom rally to take place on\u00a0June 30\u00a0outside of Paris. There, Maryam Rajavi and dozens of other speakers, including high-profile delegates from the US and Europe, will give voice to the demands of the Iranian people and clearly outline the ways in which those demands can be realized.<\/p>\n
<\/iframe><\/p>\nThe existing regime is fundamentally incapable of representing the will of the Iranian people and, therefore, should never have been regarded as legitimate. Certainly, the Iranian people themselves made this clear during January uprising when they chanted both \u201cdeath to [President] Rouhani\u201d and \u201cdeath to Khamenei,\u201d the regime\u2019s hardline supreme leader. The ayatollahs are facing a stark decision that could very much determine the fate of their regime. And with people\u2019s power as a new growing factor, they realize that time is quickly running out.<\/p>\nMeanwhile, in Rome, a conference was held on the \u201cMiddle East and the Iranian role\u201d with the participation of Italian MPs, academics, and diplomats. The discussion registered deep concerns about the longstanding, dramatic situation regarding human rights and the conditions of women, the large number of executions, the hard repression of last winter\u2019s uprising and the real involvement of Iran in the crises across the region, through its provision of both men and weapons.<\/p>\nWe must remember that the Iranian economy is almost completely controlled by the IRGC, and doing business with Teheran means funding its terror activities and hegemonic ambitions.<\/p>\nThe EU, its core values, and principles, will not tolerate such a situation. The EU should not be pouring money into the Central Bank of Iran in order to guarantee European companies\u2019 investments or bypassing the secondary sanctions imposed by the USA. As some Italian MPs explained at the conference, a Western country like Italy cannot create an entity like \u201cInvitalia Global Investment\u201d with its credit line of 5 billion Euros \u2014 financed entirely by public money \u2014 in order to cover the losses of the Italian enterprises that decide to invest in Iran.<\/p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/category\/quotes\/\">Europe should also join the effort to give a voice back to the Iranian people.<\/a> This is a much sounder approach and solid a basis for cross- Atlantic cooperation.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"White House Iran Strategy May Give Voice Back to the Iranian People The Trump administration\u2019s strategy for dealing with the Islamic Republic of Iran has been notably assertive since Day One.
