NCRI –\u00a0We must stop conceding to the Iranian Regime\u2019s every demand and start imposing sanctions, according to a noted human rights activist and Iran expert.<\/p>\n

Heshmat Alavi wrote an op-ed for The Federalist<\/a> in which he points out that not only has the nuclear deal failed but we should never have expected anything else, because as the Regime has shown time and time again, they will never change their behaviour through diplomacy.<\/p>\n

He wrote: \u201cSome argue the JCPOA has successfully slowed Iran\u2019s dangerous drive to obtain nuclear weapons…Yet with limited restrictions imposed on Tehran\u2019s overall nuclear program, international inspectors are not enjoying the access they should to Iran\u2019s controversial facilities. The Obama administration made many promises about the nuclear deal, which we have yet to see materialize. This includes \u201canytime, anywhere\u201d inspections that have now morphed into a complicated process of practically requesting permission from Iran.\u201d<\/p>\n

He highlights that appeasement of a terrorist regime intent on regional domination is not only counterintuitive to national (and international) security, it has also never worked.<\/p>\n

He notes that British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain tried to appease the Nazis in the build-up to WW2 and that Bill Clinton tried to appease North Korea in the 90s and, as everyone knows, that didn\u2019t work.<\/p>\n

Alavi wrote: \u201cDo we seek to trek down the same path with Iran, a state with dangerous influence across the already flashpoint Middle East? One such horrible example is Iran\u2019s involvement in Syria.\u201d<\/p>\n

He continued: \u201cSome think Iran lacks the necessary will and understands all too well how such a move would spark drastic international measures against its interests. JCPOA advocates (read Iranian apologists) have also delegitimized any concern about Tehran\u2019s intentions by claiming pact violations, such as breaching limits set on heavy water\u2014the substance needed for plutonium-based nuclear bombs\u2014as mere \u201cbumps in the road.\u201d This shows those making such arguments either lack the necessary knowledge of Iran\u2019s belligerent nature in the past four decades, or simply fall into the category of Iran lobbyists. Fierce international sanctions left Iran no choice but to succumb to nuclear talks with knees bleeding. More non-nuclear sanctions are needed to make Tehran understand the international community means business.\u201d<\/p>\n

So what are the alternatives to continuing with the nuclear deal?<\/p>\n

There are many ways to deal with the Iranian Regime aside from the nuclear and Alavai highlights three important ones:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Making international companies reluctant to invest by leaving its position on the deal open to interpretation.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Impose new non-nuclear sanctions on Iran for ballistic missile advances, supporting terrorism, meddling in states across the Middle East, and domestic human rights violations to name a few.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Seeking the support of US allies in Europe to reimpose nuclear sanctions based on Iran\u2019s breach of the deal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
