- n he heels of the major gathering of the Iranian opposition in Paris on July 1, some thirty prominent American luminaries and former officials issued a joint statement expressing bipartisan support for the Iranian resistance and underscoring the need for a more firm approach towards Iran’s ruling clerics.
The letter
scolds the ruling clerics of Iran for causing regional instability, engaging in egregious
human rights violations and exporting terrorism and
extremism abroad. The high-profile personalities and former officials
rejected the view that Iran’s political establishment can be reformed. “The
hope of some Western governments was that time would lead to moderation by the Mullahs or to the emergence of a reformist faction that could challenge the dominance of the clerical regime. The reality has been far different,” they
stated.
Concerning Tehran’s regional role, the signatories
said, “The Iran-fueled sectarian division of Iraq laid the foundation for the creation of ISIS…. Iran today commands and funds upwards of 150,000 IRGC, Shia militia and mercenary armed fighters in Iraq and Syria.” “We agree with the apparent new US policy of ending the previous United States overture toward the Iranian regime,” the statement
added.
They
added that the “Tehran regime is uniquely vulnerable,” citing
chronic economic mismanagement and fierce power struggle within the regime. “Mounting popular discontent has increasingly become visible in public,” they
added, citing growing
social calls for
accountability for the “
mass executions of political opponents, including the
1988 massacre of 30,000 political prisoners with a majority of them from the Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK).”
The luminaries
said a “viable organization” exists to change the clerical regime. “
Under the
leadership of Maryam Rajavi, a Muslim woman standing for gender equality, which is an antidote to Islamic fundamentalism and extremism, it is working every day to bring about a tolerant, non-nuclear Iranian republic based on separation of religion and state, that will uphold the rights of all.”
