Their main argument hinges on the Iranian people suffering from sanctions.
Of course, these #Iran apologist won't bother mentioning how the Iranian people have been crushed under the mullahs' rule for nearly 40 years now, with public hangings, floggings, limp amputations...

Their main objective is revealed here:
"...Pompeo and Bolton have flattered fringe and extremist Iranian opposition groups."
They're worried about #IranRegimeChange.

The word "fringe" is linked to a @WashingtonPost article by @jrezaian (another #Iran apologist), which I debunked when published.

The word "extremist" is linked to a @NYTimes video explainer by @ntabrizy (yes, another #Iran apologist), which I also debunked.

And BTW, I shed light on a very interesting relationship between @NYTimes & a state-run newspaper in #Iran (iran-newspaper.com).

@jabdi & @SinaToossi then repeat the old #Iran apologist narrative against any possible firm policy vis-a-vis their bosses in Tehran.

Then they call for policies supporting "Iran's integration into the global economy..."
No thanks. We all witnessed the disasters resulting from Obama appeasing #Iran.
No more.

@jabdi & @SinaTossii talk of "President Hassan Rouhani’s outreach to the West," not admitting to how @HassanRouhani is playing just another part in Iranian Supreme Leader Ali @khamenei_ir's masquerade.

@jabdi & @SinaToossi then argue:
"The real threats to repressive rule in Iran are a growing middle class, an organized civil society movement, and leaders who have the political capital to push for change against entrenched elements in the system."

The writers then indirectly refer to Trump's policies propping up "Iran's repressive rulers with threats of war and invasion..."
Of course, they don't say how Obama's appeasement allowed Tehran to wreak havoc across the Middle East & advance their ballistic missiles...

"Trump’s punishing use of sanctions will wither away Iranian civil society by impoverishing Iran’s middle class."
What middle class? #Iran has over 50 million living in poverty.
Of the 30 million left, rest assured the majority are lower class...

"The sanctions will serve to increase control of the Iranian economy by unaccountable and repressive forces."
The writers won't tell you how #Iran's IRGC expanded its financial empire during the Obama's tenure.

Finally, @jabdi & @SinaToossi claim Trump & his advisors are "orchestrating a civil war in Iran..."
What they won't admit is how #IranProtests & an end to U.S. appeasement of #Iran's regime is terrifying them...
