A VICTORY COALITION BRIEFING

What’s ‘Wrong’ with the Iranian Regime
is Sharia-Supremacism

Today, Donald Trump declared that, as far as he is concerned, the so-called “ceasefire” with Iran is “over.” What is really noteworthy is that the President’s explanation for why negotiations are now “a waste of time” effectively precludes pursuing them further.

Having previously applauded Iran’s current leaders, Mr. Trump just excoriated them as “liars,” “scum,” “cuckoo” and “vicious” “violent” and “sick” people. It would seem to be an irreversible breaking point that he has concluded, “There is something wrong with them.”

There is, indeed. But, while all of his disparaging characterizations are valid, what is, at its core, unalterably “wrong” with the Iranian government is that it remains sharia-supremacist and intent on destroying our country in the pursuit of a global Islamic caliphate.

This Victory Coalition briefing assesses whether, under present circumstances, there is any viable alternative to “finishing the job” in Iran by helping its long-suffering people liberate themselves from a regime that has brutally repressed them and has threatened ours for nearly fifty years.
