Listen to All Iranian Voices
By Homeira Hesami- Posted on augustafreepress on April 28, 2015
In dealing with a dictatorship, it is simple prudence to listen to its critics. Even more so when the regime involved is the most active state-sponsor of terrorism, is unscrupulously meddling in affairs of other countries, and is marching towards obtaining nuclear weapons. It should be evident the regime in focus is the theocracy ruling Iran.
So while there is little dispute about the gravity of the challenge posed by the Iranian regime to US national security interests and imperatives, a simple question that is often overlooked is why it has not been U.S. policy to listen and pay attention to Tehran’s main enemies?
Will the US save Iran's Islamic revolution?
By Ryan Mauro- Posted on The Hill on April 16, 2015
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.

This was bound to happen and no one was surprised by it. . The savage religious war being waged in Iraq and Syria now affects the entire world, and nobody’s freedom of speech and right to life is owed any respect by Islamist extremists. Masked gunmen stormed the Paris offices of the satirical newspaper Wednesday, killing 12 people, including the paper’s editor and a cartoonist, before escaping in a getaway car.
The top threat is still Iran
By Linda Chavez- Posted on NYPost on Jan 4, 2015
The agreement last week between the governments of Iraq and Iran to enter a formal relationship to fight the Islamic State group should be deeply troubling to the United States.
The Islamic State, also known as ISIS, is a grave threat to the region and is responsible for the horrifying beheading of American journalists and an aid worker, as well as the brutal slaughter of countless innocent Muslims and Christians in Syria and Iraq.
But as grave a threat as the Islamic State is, Iran is a much greater threat — especially if it acquires nuclear weapons.
