\"NCRI-Conference-Drone\"<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, This event was attended by renowned American politicians and experts, who underlined the necessity to counter Tehran\u2019s malign activities by increasing pressure on the regime.<\/p>\n

This event was moderated by Alireza Jafarzadeh, the NCRI-US Deputy Director. In his remarks, Mr. Jafarzadeh underlined that in \u201cIRAN: IRGC\u2019s Rising Drone Threat; A Desperate Regime\u2019s Ploy to Project Power, Incite War,\u201d book the Iranian Resistance reveals \u201cfor the first time a number of Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) front companies running the regime\u2019s drone program. These companies have civilian names but are in service of the IRGC. They provide parts and accessories for the UAV program. They are doing what the IRGC can\u2019t do itself. They are helping the IRGC circumvent sanctions. It\u2019s a smuggling ring.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr. Jafarzadeh underlined the need to \u201cdeal with firmness to this regime. It should be granted no sanctions relief. It is imperative to reinstate all UNSC resolutions.\u201d<\/p>\n

This call to firmness was reiterated by other participants of Wednesday\u2019s conference. \u201cWe have to change course toward Iran not only to limit its threats but also to use this opportunity to tell our friends and enemies that we\u2019re willing to be tough,\u201d said Senator Joe Lieberman, a former U.S. Senator, and Presidential candidate.<\/p>\n

Senator Lieberman, a longtime Democrat, also criticized the weak approach of the current U.S. administration regarding Tehran\u2019s nuclear program. \u201cI think we\u2019re on the wrong course, we the United States, in our efforts in Vienna to reenter the JCPOA,\u201d he said. He emphasized that these efforts \u201cdon\u2019t meet the reality of what Iran is doing, either in Vienna or in Iran or throughout the region or the world. And I think they\u2019re in that sense unrealistic and risky, highly risky. So, I\u2019ll talk in a moment how I hope they\u2019ll be changed.\u201d<\/p>\n

.@MatthewKroenig<\/a>: The regime needs to understand that if it remains on its current path, there will be consequences. Supporting the democratic aspirations of the Iranian people is important. #Iran<\/a> #IranTalks<\/a>https:\/\/t.co\/y1qZ24Z86e<\/a><\/p>\n
