Recently, two Iranian citizens (probable spies or terrorists) were apprehended in Kenya. Rest assured if serious investigations take place Iran\u2019s fingerprints will be found, especially since the two were arrested in a diplomatic car.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith Democrats joining their Republican colleagues in passing the ISA, one can sense the pressure they had to endure under Obama to pledge their support for his foreign policy of waiving Iran sanctions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the meantime, Tehran took full advantage to elevate its proxy influence, network of terrorists and rendering a completely destabilized, flashpoint-style, crisis-riddled Middle East.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The op-ed added that the Iranian regime considered the Obama foreign policy a \u201cgreen light to continue its conglomerate of devious activities jeopardizing peace and security across the region, especially as Obama repeatedly had the legitimate right to inflict sanctions, and refused to do so.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTeam Trump and the new Republican Congress have their own set of cohesive options and targets on how to make Tehran\u2019s mullahs feel the pain. One very realistic measure is standing alongside the Iranian people \u2014 after Obama failed to do so \u2014 and their democratic opposition, the National Council of Resistance of Iran.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith the mullahs out of power in Tehran, the cure for the dilemmas they caused, diseasing the Middle East and beyond, will begin to spread instead.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp;
