SEPARATING IRANIAN PEOPLE FROM IRAN REGIME, A GOOD FIRST STEP Created: 28 November 2017 Iran Iranian Resistance Iranian Opposition US policy towards Iran By: Soona Samsami The voices of Iran's people have long been missing from Western policy discussions on Iran’s ruling theocracy. Since the early days of the Iranian Revolution, the U.S. and its allies have pursued a strategy of reaching out to supposed moderates within the regime, while focusing on a narrow set of issues to the detriment of human rights and the Iranian people’s struggle for democracy. The Trump administration’s strategy of confronting the regime's onslaught is a departure from this trend. In that speech and several others, President Trump has placed notable emphasis on the plight of the Iranian people, accurately describing them as the primary victims of the clerical regime. Nowhere is this more evident than in the fact that the Tehran regime is the leading per capita executioner of its own citizens.
