ANALYSIS/OPINION:
The Iranian regime is starting to crack.
The terror train is about to derail.
But this will also be the most dangerous time
for Iran’s adversaries, including the United States, as the murderers
in Tehran start losing their grip on the Iranian people and
on their billions of dollars banked abroad. We’ve seen this time and time again
throughout history, from Mussolini to Ceausescu — it never ends well.
Smelling opportunity,
the Iranian resistance is pushing hard, driving a wedge between
ordinary Iranians and themullahs. The people have had enough of
the theocratic thugs and their corruption, murder and plunder. With much of the
country lacking access to fresh water and economic opportunity, finding support
to toppling the regime is not a hard task. The people are waking up that it is
not America, or some other Great Satan, that is causing their misery.
It is their own government, which has wasted hundreds of billions of dollars
supporting terrorists worldwide while stealing fortunes for their families who
live in the West.
In the Majlis, the Iranian parliament, Gholamreza
Heydari, a representative from Tehran, on Thursday berated the government
of President Hassan Rouhani for its deceitful and unwise stewardship
of Iran’s wealth.
“Our dear Iran is in a peculiar situation: The
people’s lives have become harder and harder on a daily basis,” the lawmaker
said.
“We should talk honestly to the people: a sharp decrease in
the value of the national currency and a sharp increase in prices, even for the
most basic needs of life, shows that our country is not managed properly. Are
we the world’s guardian that we want to rub everybody’s nose to the ground?”
Such open defiance of the Supreme Leader and
the Revolutionary Guard’s official narrative is indeed telling. The regime
is becoming weaker and weaker. The Trump administration is serious
about tightening the screws and drivingIranian oil from the global market
this fall. The revolutionary stone is rolling down the hill and getting faster
and faster. At some point, the momentum will be too much for the regime to
withstand.
It will happen more quickly that most anticipate, probably
without warning. The mullahs will be in power until they are not.
Right now, the U.S. and its allies need to do all
they can to hasten this day.
As judgment day approaches, the regime will try desperately
to hold on to power. Repression and terror will increase. We have already seen
intelligence agents arrested in Washington, D.C., accused of plotting to
assassinate resistanceleaders. We have seen Iranian diplomats
arrested in Europe earlier this summer after providing explosives to regime
operatives in order to bomb the Paris gathering of the
leading Iranian exile dissident group.
Iran’s intelligence service has proudly declared it has
installed sleeper agents in the West to wreak havoc and terror, just awaiting
the order to move.
I don’t doubt it. After the Obama administration
ignored Iran’s terror activities and failed to secure our borders, I’m
sure Iranian sleeper cells are present in our major cities and near
critical infrastructure.
This regime is fatally weak, but remains dangerous. It will
not go quietly. The mullahs must be removed from power before they
have the chance to regroup, before they can again threaten our very existence
and way of life with nuclear weapons.
The American military need not lead the fight. We
should be employing all of the elements of American power, with the
military getting involved if we are physically threatened. In the meantime, we
can every tool at our disposal to force our European friends to stop
supporting Tehran and get on the right side of history.
The alternative is unacceptable.
