Iran Nuclear Deal Feeds The Roots Of Regional Terrorism

By Maryam Rajavi- Posted on Forbes on July 14, 2015 

Against the backdrop of daily reports of atrocities at the hands of terror groups in Egypt, Syria, Yemen and Iraq, the world now has word of a nuclear agreement between the P5+1 and the Iranian regime, which–even in the most optimistic reading–not only fails to block Tehran’s pathways to a nuclear bomb, but will provide it with tens of billions of dollars to add to its war chest.

Let's Bring the Voice of the Iranian People Into Our Iran Policy

By Ken Blackwell- Posted on CBSNews on June 08, 2015

If you’re paying attention to the Middle East today, you’re paying attention to Iran. The Islamic Republic has its hand in a number of regional conflicts, in addition to its long-standing support for Middle Eastern terrorist groups. And of course this comes at a time when Iran could also be on the verge of potentially inking an agreement with six world powers which would give it relief from sanctions related to its work on nuclear weapons technology.

Listen to All Iranian Voices

In dealing with a dictatorship, it is simple prudence to listen to its critics.

The Iranian regime survived the 2009 Green Revolution, but the Islamic Revolution it is founded upon was put on life support.  Its heartbeat weakened every day until the economic collapse was reversed by the easing of sanctions.  The Iranian threat is rooted in this ideology and a nuclear deal risks revitalizing it, transforming it from a clearly failed doctrine to one of strength and wealth.

The sea of demonstrators wasn't a snapshot provoked by a single fraudulent election.  It was the fruition of a movement that previously surfaced in the 1990s and ended with violent suppression.  The current "moderate" President Rouhani endorsed the regime's efforts to "crush mercilessly" its opponents.

Iran Sanctions Fight: Three myths no lawmaker should believe

By Alireza Jafarzadeh- Posted on FoxNews on Jan 21, 2015

The expected congressional vote on a new sanctions bill against the Iranian regime has rekindled debate over Tehran's nuclear defiance and the best way to confront it. Congress has misgivings about a rogue regime intent on obtaining nuclear capability, and understandably wants to ensure that Washington does not strike a bad deal.

Some argue that a decisive approach toward Tehran will be counterproductive. But their position ignores historical lessons and stands on a number of myths that need to be debunked.

Myth #1: More sanctions on Iran will prompt the regime to unilaterally walk away from the talks.
