Panel of experts discusses policy on Iran<\/p>\n

On the eve of the Free Iran Gathering<\/a>, a panel of experts discussed the current policy of the U.S. and Europe<\/a> toward the Iranian regime and policy recommendations to support the cause of freedom and democracy in Iran.<\/p>\n

\u201cPresident Obama extended an olive branch to Iran and five years later there was a nuclear deal,\u201d said Ambassador Lincoln Bloomfield, who moderated the panel. He then asked the participants to weigh in on the challenges of dealing with the Iranian regime and the new policy declared by the U.S., which was summarized by Secretary of State Mike Pompeo\u2019s 12-point demands toward Tehran.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery one of those 12 demands have to do with Iran\u2019s aggressions at different levels,\u201d Bloomfield said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe policy of appeasement at all costs that European governments are carrying on are based on false assumptions,\u201d said former Italian foreign minister Julio Terzi. \u201c[Iranian regime president Hassan] Rouhani is part of the leadership with [Supreme Leader Ali] Khamenei and hasn\u2019t changed the [Iranian regime\u2019s] vision of dominating the world of Islam.\u201d<\/p>\n

Terzi also stressed that under Rouhani, there has been no modification on the economic structure of Iran. \u201cThe regime is focused on strengthening the power of IRGC,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cContinue to pressure the regime,\u201d Terzi recommended as the solution to dealing with Iran. \u201cIt is completely wrong to pursue other ways such as increasing cooperation across the board, such as cultural fields, or intelligence cooperation, as the Italian government is pursuing.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"policy<\/p>\n

\u201cNo one can genuinely believe there\u2019s a future\u2026 with the Iranian regime at the table,\u201d said former U.S. Senator Robert Torricelli. \u201cThat simply is not possible.\u201d<\/p>\n

Torricelli emphasized that after the events in countries like Syria and Iraq, and the Iranian regime\u2019s involvement in chaos and strife in those countries, it\u2019s genuinely wrong to believe that there\u2019s an alternative to the current tougher policy that the new U.S. administration has adopted.<\/p>\n

\u201cTrump has done with Iran, all that we hate to admit that has to happen,\u201d Torricelli said. \u201cIf we\u2019re going to deal with the mullahs, it\u2019s only now.\u201d<\/p>\n

In response to criticism that Pompeo\u2019s 12-point policy toward Iranian regime is not aimed at reconciliation, Torricelli said, \u201cIran should not be given a separate deal. This is how you have to act,\u201d underlining that if the Iranian nation was functioning properly, it would be a great regional\u2014if not international\u2014player.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are in a state, even if unacknowledged, of attempting regime change,\u201d Torricelli said, stressing that Europeans and the U.S. must unite to support the Iranian people\u2019s demands for change in their country.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe regime has to go. Is it going to succeed? Inevitably.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIf we\u2019re going to have change, it will going to have to come at the top in Iran and it will have to be by the Iranian people,\u201d said former Director of the White House public liaison Linda Chavez, who spoke after Sen. Torricelli. \u201cIt\u2019s not a military response. It has to be a democratic revolt by the Iranian people.\u201d<\/p>\n

Chavez emphasized that the international community needs to reach out to the Iranian resistance, talk to the PMOI and understand what this organization stands for and the democratic principles that Madame Rajavi stands for. \u201cThat to me is the only acceptable future,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cUnder this regime, hundreds of thousands of people have been executed,\u201d said Maria S. Ryan, President and CEO of Cottage Hospital, Woodsville, New Hampshire, shedding light on the suffering of the Iranian people, especially the women.<\/p>\n

Ryan expressed hope at the uprisings of the Iranian which started in December and January and has continued since. \u201cThey are going to need help,\u201d she said. \u201cWe can take a very bold stand and support Madame Rajavi. \u201c<\/p>\n

Ryan expressed her support for Mrs. Rajavi\u2019s 10-point plan, stressing that it represents everything that free nations stand for. \u201cWe want all those things the Iranian people want,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cSanctions are working. We need to take that as a key point of reference,\u201d said former U.S. State Department spokesperson Adam Ereli, stressing that the U.S. needs to double down on sanctions and pressure on the Iranian regime. \u201cThat will bring the regime down and create a better future for the people,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Ambassador Ereli made three key policy recommendations:<\/p>\n

Enforcement of sanctions: Cut off Iran from international banking systems such as SWIFT and central banks. Also enforce secondary sanctions on companies that do business with Iran. Cut off Iran from the oil markets as well.
\nExpand the international coalition and the Middle East coalition to isolate Iran.
\nSupport the people of Iran. \u201cAs we see these protests growing in every city and hamlet, a well-timed statement of support by prominent in Iran means a lot,\u201d he said, reminding that had Obama supported the 2009 uprisings in Iran, things would have been much different.<\/p>\n

\"Iran\"<\/p>\n

\u201cThe 12 points of Secretary Pompeo are brilliant and culminates all the good recommendations given over the years on Iran,\u201d said Paulo Casaca, Executive Director of the South Asia Democratic Forum, adding that reconstructing a common European and American front is vital. \u201cIran\u2019s GDP does not justify the amount of investment done on the part of Europeans.\u201d<\/p>\n
