Michael Mukasey: If Iranian regime falls, there would be virtually no problems in the Middle East

NCRI – A former United States Attorney General has explained why he supports a free and democratic Iran and why he believes that the Middle East crisis can be solved by a change in the Iranian regime.

Michael Mukasey, the former U.S. Attorney General, gave an interview to the ‘Alliance for Public Awareness – Iranian Communities in Europe’ at the Free Iran rally in Paris earlier this month.

In the interview, he said that the U.S.’s policy towards Iran needed a “top to bottom reassessment” and that appeasing the dictatorship had done no good.

He said: “Iran’s role [in the Middle East] is principally destructive.” He asserts that the Iranian regime is trying “to strengthen its own hand”, while it contributes to the genocide of the Syrian people and funds terrorist organizations like Hamas and Hezbollah.

He expressed thanks for the role of the People’s Mojahedin of Iran (PMOI/MEK) in exposing the Iranian regime’s clandestine nuclear weapons projects and he congratulated the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) for its ten-point plan for a future free and democratic Iran. He criticized the mullahs’ regime for attempting to smear the Iranian Resistance as violent terrorists.

He said: “The [nuclear] treaty itself was a huge mistake and if its worst effects can be undone, they should be undone.”

He said: “If you deal with an absolute tyranny, you strengthen it. If you tighten the screws, which may be harmful to the Iranian population, but in the long run it will do more to benefit them.”
