France, Iran, and the Nuclear Deal

This post is in response to a news article regarding France's President Emmanuel Macron offering to extend a $15 billion letter of credit to Iran in exchange for the Islamic Republic’s compliance with the 2015 nuclear deal with world powers. Article can be found here. 

What a fool 🤦🏻‍♀️
Giving into terrorists. 

Some facts about Iranian president Hassan Rouhani:

❌ In 2004, Rouhani boasted about Iran using negotiations as cover to advance its nuclear program. “While we were talking with the Europeans in Tehran, we were installing [nuclear] equipment in… the facility in Isfahan… in fact, by creating a calm environment, we were able to complete the [nuclear] work in Isfahan.”

❌ Many have ignored the fact that the most powerful official in Iran remains the extremist Ayatollah Khamenei. He is Supreme Leader and still has final say in matters of nuclear, foreign, and domestic policy. He is responsible for Iran’s countless human rights violations, sponsorship of global terrorism, and violations of the UN’s nuclear non-proliferation treaty.

❌ Many observers around the world praised Rouhani as a moderate and hoped that his election would lead to better relations between Iran and the West. But Rouhani’s words and actions cast doubt over how moderate he really is. Rouhani’s highest ranking ministers are anything but moderate.

❌ Rouhani supports the murderous Syrian government and the terrorist group Hezbollah. Shortly after he was elected Rouhani affirmed his support for Hezbollah and the regime of Syrian dictator Bashar Assad. Assad and Hezbollah have killed tens of thousands in Syria, including hundreds with poison gas. Over 100,000 people have died since the Syrian civil war began in 2011.

❌ Rouhani supported the Iranian regime’s violent crackdown on student protesters in 1999. In 1999 Iranian students took to the streets to demand greater political and social freedoms. Rouhani spoke in favor of the regime’s decision to “crush [the protesters] mercilessly and monumentally…”
