On Thursday, protests broke out throughout the Islamic Republic of Iran against the government. The Iranian government, run by the Shiite Ayatollahs, has been in power since the overthrow of the pro-Western Shah in 1979. They do everything they can to repress their people, especially religious minorities, women and homosexuals. But what makes them one of the most dangerous nations on Earth is their desire to wipe America and Israel, whom they call “the Great Satan” and “the Little Satan,” respectively, off the map. They pose a great threat to the Sunni Muslim countries throughout the region as well, and sponsor terror worldwide.
However, this is not the first time these protests occurred. In 2009, early in the presidency of Barack Obama, there was a revolt known as the “Green Revolution.” The Iranian people took to the streets aiming for regime change, and the revolt lasted almost two weeks. Sadly, the revolutionaries were defeated, thanks largely to Obama’s decision to sit it out, de facto taking the side of the extremist Mullahs.
Later on, in 2015, towards the end of his presidency, we learned the probable reason Obama did this. Obama, along with Secretary of State John Kerry struck a deal with the Iranians to give them billions of dollars and lift sanctions in exchange for an empty promise that the Iranians would wind down their nuclear program. In fact, one of the issues that got President Trump elected was that he would pull out of this horrible, one-sided “deal.”
We are still learning details about the deal Obama struck, including precursors, such as allowing Hezbollah, Iran’s terror proxy in Lebanon, to traffic cocaine and launder money through used cars to finance its expansion. According to Josh Meyer at Politico, the Obama administration derailed Project Cassandra, an investigation by law enforcement into Hezbollah’s activities. By doing this, Obama put his own citizens in danger because of the cocaine now flooding the country.
This is how desperate the Obama administration was to make nice with an enemy that wants nothing more than world chaos and destruction.
Fast forward to this week. Earlier this year, Trump followed through half-way on his promise to shred the deal by merely decertifying it, which means that it is still technically in existence but on short notice, and Congress would have 60 days to work on a plan to possibly keep the deal afloat. But now, in light of the protests, Trump is taking tough stances to Iran, proudly standing with the protesters and correcting the wrong that the previous president engaged in.
The President posted a series of tweets on Saturday condemning Iran, saying that “the world is watching.”
Vice President Mike Pence echoed a similar reaction on Twitter, and the State Department did as well.
It really is worth noting the departure of the Trump administration from the Obama doctrine. Especially after Trump’s courageous announcement to move the US embassy in Israel to Jerusalem and his defunding of the UN, it may be a safe prediction that the situation in Iran will finally be what pulls the US out of the Iran deal, as January 13th, the deadline for doing so, is rapidly approaching. And this should be what does it— we would now be financing a regime we’ve denounced for human rights violations. To continue doing so would be preposterous.
Please make the right move, Mr. President. The world is watching.
