US Secretary of State: Donald Trump's Government Strategy to Face Iran

Instead of the Iranian nuclear deal, President Trump has launched a multi-faceted lobbying campaign. The first element concerns economic sanctions. The president realizes the power of sanctions to remove the regime while creating low opportunity costs for the United States. Under the Trump government, the United States imposed 17 times more sanctions related to Iran, targeting 147 people and entities related to Iran.

The purpose of this aggressive sanction is to force the Iranian regime to make a choice: stop or insist on the policies that trigger these actions in first choice. Iran's decision to continue its destructive activities has had deadly economic consequences, compounded by mismanagement of officials in pursuit of their personal interests.

The widespread interference of the IRGC in the economy, under the guise of privatization, has made business conditions in Iran a source of loss, and foreign investors have never known whether they facilitate trade or terrorism. Instead of using the wealth generated by JCPOA to improve the material well-being of the Iranian people, the regime has sucked it up as a parasite and has poured billions of dollars in subsidies to dictators, terrorists and the evil militias.

It is understandable that the people of Iran are frustrated. Unpaid wages led to widespread strikes. Lack of fuel and water is commonplace.

This discomfort is a problem posed by the diet itself. The Iranian elites resemble the mafia in terms of extortion and corruption. Two years ago, the Iranian people burst into appropriate anger when evidence was leaked showing that considerable sums were paid without explanation to the bank accounts of senior government officials.

Over the years, academics and officials have been hiding behind religious clothing while stealing blind Iranians. At the moment, protesters are shouting at the regime. "You stole us in the name of religion."

According to the London newspaper Kayhan, Ayatollah Sadeq Larijani, president of the Iranian judiciary, who was subjected this year to US sanctions for violation of human rights, owns at least 300 million dollars worth of goods, thank you for diverting public funds. Nbader Makarem Shirazi, the great cleric, also has badets worth millions of dollars.

He is known as the "sugar king" because he lobbied the Iranian government for it to reduce subsidies to domestic sugar producers while flooding the market with its own sugar, a more expensive imported sugar.

Such activities make ordinary Iranians lose their jobs. Ayatollah Mohammad Emami Kashani, one of the 30-year-old priests in Tehran on Friday, called on the government to transfer profitable mines to its private foundation. He also has millions of dollars of badets.

Corruption occurs from the bottom up, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, supreme leader of Iran, has a personal investment fund called Bookad, a value of 95 millions of dollars. These tax-free and illegally obtained badets are often obtained by taking over the badets of political and religious minorities and are used as illegal funds on behalf of the RCMP. In other words, the religious leaders of the Iranian leader have become an example of the character of the strong people of the Third World.

The greed of the regime has created a gap between the Iranian people and its leaders, preventing officials from convincingly persuading young Iranians to become the pioneers of the next generation of revolution. The theocratic leaders of the ayatollahs can preach day and night "Death to Israel" and "Death to America", but they can not conceal their true hypocrisy.

Mohammad Javad Zarif, Iran's Minister of Foreign Affairs, is a graduate of the State University of San Francisco and the University of Denver, and Ali Akbar Velayati, top advisor of the highest ranking leader, has studied at Johns Hopkins University.

Khamenei himself was driven everywhere with BMW cars, even when he called on the Iranian people to buy products made in Iran. This phenomenon is similar to what happened in the Soviet Union in the 1970s and 1980s, when the spirit of 1917 began to echo because of the hypocrisy of its champions. The Politburo could no longer candidly badert the citizens of the Soviet Union to accede to Communism when Soviet officials secretly peddled the Beatles' blue jeans and smuggling recordings.

Iran's leaders, especially those at the top of the IRGC's hierarchy, such as Quds leader Qasem Soleimani, must feel the painful consequences of their acts of violence and corruption. Since the regime is controlled by the desire to get rich and by revolutionary ideologies that are difficult to overcome, sanctions must be difficult to take if they have to change long-standing habits.

That's why the Trump administration has canceled sanctions imposed by the United States under a nuclear deal; the first of a series of sanctions came into effect on August 7, the others will be reapplied on November 5. We want world crude oil imports as close as possible to November 4th.

As part of our campaign to destroy terrorist financing by the Iranian regime, we have also worked with the United Arab Emirates to decide on a currency exchange network to transfer millions of dollars to the Quds Force. The United States calls on all nations bored and tired by the destructive behavior of the Islamic Republic to defend the Iranian people and join our campaign. Our efforts will be guided by our Special Representative for Iran, Brian Hook.

Economic pressure is part of the American campaign and prevention is another. President Trump believes in clear steps to prevent Iran from restarting its nuclear program or pursuing other perverse activities. In the case of Iran and other countries, he clearly stated that he would not tolerate the attempts of intimidation of the United States; it will retaliate if the security of the United States is threatened.

North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has felt this pressure and will not be willing to come to the negotiating table in Singapore without it. The President's public communication serves as a prevention mechanism. The capital letters he sent to Iranian President Hbadan Rouhani in July, in which he urged Iran to stop threatening the United States, were informed by a strategic calculation: the Iranian regime understood and feared the American military power.

In September, the militia in Iraq launched a rocket attack endangering the life of the complex of the US Embbady in Baghdad and the US Consulate in Basra. Iran did not stop these attacks, carried out by agents that it supported by funds, training and weapons.

The United States will hold the Tehran regime responsible for the attacks that have injured our staff and facilities. The United States will react quickly and decisively to protect the lives of Americans.

We do not want war. But we must make it clear that climbing is a loss for Iran; The Islamic Republic can not compete with the military skills of the United States and we are not afraid to let the Iranian leaders know about it.
