The ongoing protests in Iran against the oppressive fundamentalist regime are widely supported by American politicians, but while tweets of support are useful to boost the protesters’ morale, more needs to be done in order to achieve regime change.The people of Iran began the process of regime change when they took to the streets in their tens of thousands, thus there is no reason whythose who support the protesters shouldn’t act to speed up the movement.
Donald Trump has already been very vocal about his disdain for the Iranian Regime, from their abuse of their own people, to their breaking of the nuclear pact, to their support of terrorism, and his administration believes that the only way to deal with all of that is through regime change.
The trouble is that while Trump is dead-set on helping the Iranian people get rid of the regime that oppresses them, other countries are happy to keep it in place. Some of these other countries are doing so to preserve trade deals with Iran, some are supporting the Regime because they are worried that their own non-democratic system of government will be next on the block, and some are besieged by the regime’s terrorist proxies, but there is no good reason to support the Iranian Regime.
Penny Watson wrote on Small Wars Journal that many countries in South America support the Regime because Iran has, since the 1980s, maintained a mutually beneficial presence in those countries. Not only are they united on trade but also on anti-American sentiment.

This is why Bolivian President Evo Morales criticised Trump and other US officials for supporting the protesters and told the rest of the world not to comment on Iran, echoing the comments of Iranian vice-president Eshagh Jahangiri.

The US was not put off by these comments and called for an emergency UN session to discuss the situation in Iran, but Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov and the Bolivian representative argued against the UN Security Council meeting.

The US must remain strong and remember that they are fighting to help the Iranian people see a Free Iran and to seek justice for the over 120,000 members of the Iranian Resistance who have been murdered by the Regime.

Watson wrote: “With the common geostrategic goal of countering the U.S. uniting Iran and these Latin American regimes, it is all the more imperative that Trump provide even more support to the Iranian people in their regime change endeavours, lest the US find itself dealing with Iran’s proxy forces in its Latin American backyard.”

French FM Visits Iran to Talk Ballistic Missiles and Syria

French FM Visits Iran to Talk Ballistic Missiles and Syria05 March 2018 Iran Focus London, 05 Mar - The French foreign minister Jean-Yves Le Drian, has arrived in Iran to talk with the country's president Hassan Rouhani, Ali Shamkhani, the secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council and the Iranian foreign minister Mohammad Javad Zarif, according to Iranian state TV. Talks are expected to focus on Iran’s involvement in the Syrian Civil war and Iran's ballistic missile program, which both Le Drian and French President Emmanuel Macron have criticized Iran's missile program in recent weeks, with Le Drian stating that Iran's ballistic missile capacity worried France “enormously". In response to Iranian claims that their ballistic missile program is peaceful, Le Drian said: "Having such tools is not uniquely defensive, given the distance they can reach." The French Foreign Ministry even issued a statement ahead of the trip, which said Le Drian ...

Iran-Back Hezbollah Controls LebanonTerrorism

Iran-Back Hezbollah Controls LebanonTerrorism 21 February 2018 Iran Focus London, 21 Feb - In recent years, when the US has made statements against Iran-backed Hezbollah, they have often followed this up with support for the Lebanese army and security forces, but it is becoming increasingly clear that there is little, if any, distinction between the Lebanese state and the Iran-backed terrorist group. When US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson arrived in Beirut, last Thursday, Hezbollah had created two new problems with Israel: a southern border wall and the debates over oil and gas extraction. This caused Tillerson to make the US position on Hezbollah very clear. Hezbollah is a terrorist organisation with no difference between its military and political wings. He advised that Hezbollah and Iran were creating tensions in the region in order to destabilise the Middle East. Iran seeks the destruction to distract others from its own problems, both domestic and international. It not only ta...
