I\u2019d like to start where I usually leave off my remarks at this gathering because I think it\u2019s important to get to the issue quickly, and that is it should be the declared policy of the government of the United States to overthrow the regime of the ayatollahs in Tehran. No equivocation.<\/p>\n<p>Now, the fact is, over the years, the plight of the Iranian people alone under this regime has been insufficient to rally international public support. People talk a lot about the problems of the people of Iran, but they haven\u2019t really done anything effectively to change that, and I think more must be done.<\/p>\n<p>I think foreign governments have to be shown that the regime of the mullahs is not simply oppressive to the people of Iran but challenges their own vital national security interests. That\u2019s how to get governments motivated, and I think that we\u2019ve got a couple of key developments since the last time we were together here that demonstrate that very quickly.<\/p>\n<p>The first is the emerging Beijing-Moscow axis, of which Iran is one of the satellite countries, provides new foundational circumstances for U.S. and other policy. And second, the events of October 7th, another new development and an independent foundation for opposing the regime in Iran, which was responsible for the Hamas attack.<\/p>\n<p>The Beijing-Moscow axis is something that we see in operation directly and through its surrogates all around the world. We see Iran selling drones to Russia to use against the Ukrainian armed forces and the people of Ukraine. We heard from Moscow just in the past week that Russia and Iran are on the verge of signing what the Russians call a big treaty of international cooperation because of the unprecedented upswing in Russian-Iranian relations.<\/p>\n<p>And I think that means we face, along with the danger in North Korea, the very real possibility that now Russia will simply ignore all existing sanctions, ignore decades of denying, and absolutely give nuclear and ballistic missile technological advice both to Iran and North Korea, which have cooperated in the development of their nuclear and ballistic missile programs for many years.<\/p>\n<p>But to have direct participation by Russia, and therefore possibly by China as well, heightens the threat that Iran has, not just in the Middle East, but around the world. And I think also, as we look at this effort by the axis between Beijing and Moscow and their outriders, we can see that sanctions regimes are vulnerable to evasion and efforts by the targets to avoid them.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve seen it in the case of Russia, where European and American sanctions have done nothing to prevent the Russians from continuing their aggression in Ukraine, now supported not only by Iran but by North Korea selling them artillery and ammunition.<\/p>\n<p>This weakness in the sanctions should tell us everything we need to know about what the consequences will be if we don\u2019t resolve a policy, a clearly articulated policy of overthrowing the regime. The regime simply continues in power. And if all that weren\u2019t enough, the barbaric attack on Israel by Hamas on October 7th should tell all of us that this is the way Iran treats its opponents.<\/p>\n<p>The ring of fire strategy is directed first against Israel, developed by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/news\/terrorism-fundamentalism\/27175-who-was-the-vicious-criminal-qassem-soleimani\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Qasem Soleimani<\/a>, the late, unlamented Qasem Soleimani, and it has been implemented by the Quds Force and the Revolutionary Guard, but it\u2019s not aimed just at Israel, the little Satan. It\u2019s aimed at the Gulf Arab states, and ultimately it\u2019s aimed at the United States.<\/p>\n<p>It pursues a policy of assassination and intimidation, not just in the Middle East, but in Europe and the United States, and it seeks to accomplish objectives far beyond the initial targeting. That\u2019s why Iran has a nuclear weapons program. That\u2019s why Iran is developing long-range ballistic missiles. This is something that I think finally more and more countries are beginning to see.<\/p>\n<p>This is a direct threat to Iran\u2019s adversaries all around the world. So, once we\u2019ve decided, based on geostrategic reality, not simply what\u2019s happening in Iran, although that alone is enough, but looking at the bigger picture, the threats that the United States and Europe face in Europe and in the Middle East, we have to ask, I think, some hard questions about exactly how we\u2019re going to carry out regime change.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s one thing to talk about it. It\u2019s another thing to do it. What do the opposition, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/about-ncri\/ncri\/alternative\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NCRI<\/a>, and others, what do they have to do to achieve this objective? We know that the NCRI has extraordinary networks inside Iran. I can tell you for over 20 years, I have followed very closely what they\u2019ve said about Iran\u2019s nuclear weapons program. They have never once released information publicly that wasn\u2019t true in every material respect.<\/p>\n<p>This is an incredible record of success for a nongovernmental intelligence-gathering organization, and it demonstrates the contacts they have throughout Iran. This is a basis on which we can build to help the people of Iran achieve the objective they want, and that\u2019s really the first principle of the opposition. This is a matter for Iranians. Others outside can do a lot to help, but this is for the benefit of the Iranian people.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_61738\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-61738\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Former-US-National-Security-Advisor-Ambassador-John-Bolton-2.webp\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-61738 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Former-US-National-Security-Advisor-Ambassador-John-Bolton-2.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"570\" onerror=\"this.src='https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/wp-content\/themes\/hello-elementor\/images\/broken-image-placeholder.gif';this.srcset='https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/wp-content\/themes\/hello-elementor\/images\/broken-image-placeholder.gif';\" srcset=\"https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Former-US-National-Security-Advisor-Ambassador-John-Bolton-2.webp 1000w, https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Former-US-National-Security-Advisor-Ambassador-John-Bolton-2-300x171.webp 300w, https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Former-US-National-Security-Advisor-Ambassador-John-Bolton-2-768x438.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-61738\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ambassador John Bolton<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>We\u2019re not talking about overthrowing the government of Iran as our strategy. It\u2019s the strategy of the people of Iran that we\u2019re trying to help carry out. I think the way to do this most effectively, and there are many ways regime change can occur, but the most effective is to look for fragmentation at the top of the Islamic revolution.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s be clear. The Ayatollah Khamenei is aging and in ill health, and there\u2019s never a more vulnerable point for an authoritarian regime than when the top leader is near the end of his term on earth. They have not agreed on a succession plan. There have only been two supreme leaders.<\/p>\n<p>They\u2019ve just seen the president, a potential supreme leader, die. They don\u2019t know what they would do if the succession crisis came upon them immediately. We know they\u2019re ruthless. We know they\u2019re brutal. We know that for them the stakes are existential, but never underestimate the power of human ambition.<\/p>\n<p>As the <a href=\"https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/articles\/2023\/04\/irans-regime-irgc-a-state-sponsored-terrorist-organization\/44858\/\" rel=\"\">IRGC<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/publications\/special-reports\/the-iranian-regimes-irgc-quds-force-1980s-present\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Quds Force<\/a> leaders struggle among themselves, that is how the regime cracks. That\u2019s how the people can take to the streets and get the demonstrations changed. I think that\u2019s what we should look for.<\/p>\n<p>We should look for peaceful demonstrations to accomplish this, but we should have it very clearly in mind that things don\u2019t always turn out so well, and that to get their liberty from this oppressive, authoritarian government, there may well be a need for the people of Iran to have their own capability to defend themselves and not simply be subject to repression from the regime.<\/p>\n<p>Revolutions are often bloody. That\u2019s a fact. Now, this does not mean that there needs to be force from external powers. That\u2019s not what I\u2019m saying at all, but the opposition can use material financial support. It can use a lot of different kinds of support that we should provide. In particular, we should ramp back up the sanctions that have been failing these last several years.<\/p>\n<p>We can use the slogan, maximum pressure, all we want. I certainly used it when I was in government, but it\u2019s not effective enough as it is now. Until sanctions are rigorously enforced, not as part of some judicial process, but as Woodrow Wilson, the chief articulator of sanctions, described them a hundred years ago, sanctions are a weapon of war without military force, in this case, used against the opposition.<\/p>\n<p>Now, some people say, you know, we can deal with the mullahs, we don\u2019t need all this turmoil in Iran, it\u2019s not so bad, let\u2019s just live through it. This is false, and it\u2019s so misleading that it\u2019s worth a moment to say, look, contrary to what a lot of people said, the regime in Tehran has not moderated in 45 years.<\/p>\n<p>Indeed, current reporting shows that the next generation of the mullahs is even more hardliner than the people in power now. They understand, even if we don\u2019t, that they cannot moderate without destroying the basis of their own claims to legitimacy. This is an all-or-nothing proposition for them.<\/p>\n<p>There is no compromise with these ayatollahs, there is only their overthrow, that is the only answer. I think this is critical now, going forward, the case against the ayatollahs is overwhelming, but it still needs convincing Western governments.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve got the arguments, I\u2019ve just discussed a few of them, and we know what the outcome is. We know that inside Iran, once the regime is overthrown, the people share the same clear objective. They want a government of the people, by the people, and for the people, and they deserve it.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On June 29, 2024,\u00a0 at the Free
