In their @WashingtonPost piece, @McFaul & @milaniabbas criticize Trump exiting the #IranDeal based on it not bringing calm & peace.

We probably have to thank #Obama for signing the deal & allowing #Iran further open the gates of hell across the region.
(2)
@McFaul & @milaniabbas claim Trump's new #Iran policy is “vague.”
That is because these Iran apologists know that @SecPompeo’s logical 12 conditions will support the Iranian people & the region, while bringing the regime to its knees.
And the two writers aim to prevent that.

@McFaul & @milaniabbas base their entire piece on the old pretext of anything other than the #IranDeal will lead to war.
They, of course, don't care to raise the fact that #Iran actually used the #JCPOA to further its wars & deadly influence in Syria, Yemen, Lebanon & Iraq.

Reading Jake Sullivan’s latest @TheAtlantic piece, I wonder why such individuals & outlets are so alarmed about regime change in #Iran.

Sullivan’s entire argument is based on the fact that sanctions, and more generally a firm policy against #Iran, will bear no fruit. Taking a look at the past 15 months, in contrast to the #Obama years, much of Iran’s malign behavior has taken a nosedive.

1) Something weird is happening in #Kazerun.
2) Iran's security forces use their motorcycles like the cavalry of old, basically. A fast reaction force, which drives right into crowds of protesters swinging clubs, scattering and running down often unarmed protesters.
3) Basij militia, a paramilitary force, does too. '"They carry guns, batons and they are driving motorcycles," Khalaji said "With the motorcycles they go suddenly, they start to drive into the crowd with high speed. They beat people with electric batons."' foxnews.com/story/2009/06/…
