(1) My thoughts on @SecPompeo's "Supporting Iranian Voices" speech tonight scheduled for 9 pm EST:
-Beware of overt & covert pro-#Iran regime figures in the meeting
-Iranians support firm sanctions against the regime. The mullahs have never had the people's interest in mind.
(2) -@khamenei_ir's regime is weaker than ever before. #Iran's ridiculous claim of people "rallying around the flag" in case of sanctions is the work of this regime's Intelligence Ministry.
-Iranians are against all regime "reformists" & "principalists."
(3) -Iranians are against any figure having any relation with this regime.
-#Iran's regime seeks to turn this event into a scene of "opposition groups" turning their cross-hairs on each other, to then claim there is no viable opposition or alternative for Tehran's mullahs.
(5) -All #Iran regime operatives, including officials' children, must be expelled from US soil immediately.
-@HassanRouhani's "government" is an entity aiming to advance @khamenei_ir's interests & implement his policies.
The Iranian people see no difference between the two.
(6) Anyone interested in hearing the Iranian voices should listen to #IranProtests in the streets of cities & towns across the country, all calling for #IranRegimeChange. #FreeIran2018
(7) #Iran's regime has a completely viable opposition & alternative.
That is why the mullahs went the distance to target their recent convention in Paris with a terror car bombing plot. townhall.com/columnists/ken…
(9) I found this retweet by Amb. @nikkihaley quite interesting.
Especially as it comes just 7 hours prior to @SecPompeo's "Supporting Iranian Voices" speech.
