The only solution:The Iranian people's Resistance (NCR) and MEK against
mullahs.

It has been proven time and again that evil prevails
if the good remain quiet. We have witnessed this so atrociously in the
brutality of Aleppo. But the first step in bringing stability to Syria, is to
bring justice to Iran.
Iran is an evil regime. There is no freedom of the
press. There is no freedom of religion. Human rights violations are
extraordinary.
This regime rules with an iron fist and is highly
active in destabilizing the region. And all the while, enjoying significant
Western support amongst those who actually believe in change and “moderation”
from within this regime.

This camp continues to revisit the
notion of a potentially “moderate” regime changing its behavior and being more
welcome in the broader global community. Advocates of such a mentality are
wishfully thinking this regime will alter its conduct towards its citizens,
neighbors and frankly the rest of the world.
We know this hasn’t happened. If Tehran truly bore
the intent to not only embrace the nuclear agreement but the spirit of the
accord with the West, they would not have test-fired missiles in March or October of this
year.
If the mullahs are actually sensitive about the human
rights of ordinary Iranian citizens, then this regime would not have executed
over 3,000 people in the past four years alone, and nearly 1,000 in 2015.
This regime, if actually sensitive about its
“moderate” image, would not be executing women and minors, and would not be
sending opposition supporters to the gallows. This certainly doesn’t sound
anything similar to “moderate” behavior, at least not in the democratic world.
Iran is also deeply involved in destabilizing the
region and the neighborhood. The single, most significant destabilizing factor
throughout the Middle East was, is and will be in the foreseeable future none
other than the regime ruling Iran, its President Hassan Rouhani, the mullahs
and so forth.
Every one of us now unfortunately has a very depict
image in their minds of the horrific genocide taking place in Syria. The little
boy facing down on the shores of Turkey continues to haunt us today, add to
that the small child in the back of an ambulance, for the first time seeing his
own blood. They were all attempting to escape the oppression, the violence, the
agony and the pain in Syria.
And again, what is the primary destabilizing force
supporting the ruthless regime of Bashar Assad in Syria? Iran. They have troops and foot soldiers across the Levant and the entire region, parallel to their vast arms
provision and funding for such proxies. Ironically, these efforts have all been boosted by the
very money released thanks to U.S. President Barack Obama’s nuclear deal with Tehran.
This is alongside their measures in respect to Iraq,
Yemen, Lebanon and other parts of the region, leading to Tehran’s designation
as the number one terrorist state in the world.
While the West continues to weigh the various options
available before Washington vis-à-vis Tehran, one practical opportunity lies in
supporting the sole Iranian democratic opposition movement found in the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), a political and truly moderate umbrella group seeking
peaceful regime change in Iran.
The NCRI, led by Maryam Rajavi, herself a Muslim women despising the Iranian regime’s
fundamentalist nature, enjoys strong bipartisan and apolitical support across
the globe, as personified by numerous seniorU.S. and European politicians.
