A VICTORY COALITION BRIEFING

Help the Iranian People Prevail,
Not Their Enemies – and Ours

The fate of Iran’s despotic regime appears to be hanging in the balance. The country’s population – after almost five decades of repression, privation and sharia-indoctrination – are in the streets, risking life and limb to demand the mullahs’ overthrow. Thousands have been shot dead where they were demonstrating; others who were wounded, were subsequently executed.

To his credit, President Trump has repeatedly expressed solidarity with those seeking freedom, encouraging them to keep protesting and promising help to those subjected to murderous attacks by Iranian and imported jihadists.

Yesterday, however, the President declared that such attacks had reportedly been suspended. While he expressed some uncertainty about the accuracy of such claims, the implication was that the promise of U.S. military action on behalf of the protesters would be suspended, as well.

America must help the Iranian people prevail – not abandon them, yet again.

This Victory Coalition briefing addresses the state of counterrevolution in Iran, the stakes associated with its success and the role the United States can and must play to help thte people of Iran achieve at last their liberation from the mullahs that are murdering and oppressing them and threatening us.
