A radical regime, whose mission is to “Export the Revolution” and bring Islamist rule to the rest of the world, will not alter its aims through policies of appeasement.
The appeasement policies of the Obama Administration empowered and emboldened Iran’s ruling mullahs, and the Biden Administration seems determined to pursue the same path. Recall when, upon reaching the JCPOA “nuclear deal” with Iran in 2105, then US President Barack Obama pointed out that he was “confident” that the deal, with its lifting of sanctions on Iran, would “meet the national security needs of the United States and our allies”? It was even outlined in the JCPOA preamble that all parties “anticipate that full implementation of this JCPOA will positively contribute to regional and international peace and security.”
