War
or Recognition A Win-Win situation for the Islamic Regime in Iran
By Mohammad Parvin February
6, 2014 The
deal on IRI's nuclear issues is linked to a wide range of consents by the
big powers. Therefore, a deal in any form or shape will result in a more
powerful and dominant religious dictatorship and will enhance its ability
to continue its support to terrorist activities all around the world and
especially the Middle East. In return for what IRI is offering that is the
wishful adjustment in its uranium enrichment, it will get what it has been
demanding for years. The IRI’s demand includes removal
of the sanction, the release of its frozen assets, membership in the World
Trade Organization, removal of all restrictions for obtaining loans from
the World Bank and removal from the State Department terrorist list. As a
first step, IRI will be allowed to access $7 billion in relief over the
next six months [1].
In short, the IRI wants the U.S. to guarantee its security. In
return, the IRI will accept lowering the degree of its enrichment at known
facilities and at best will promise to adopt a non-interference policy in
the Middle East and a milder approach to the elimination of Israel from
the face of the earth! Unfortunately, the day that they will declare their
access to atomic bomb made at their unknown underground facilities, may
not be that far! The
only issue that has always horrified IRI is the struggle of the Iranians
who fight for a secular democracy. Sadly, since one can hardly find a
single word in all these talks, negotiations, and celebrations about the
human rights violation in Iran, the US and its allies have practically
united with a terrorist regime against the freedom loving Iranians. Of
course, the condemnation of human rights violation in Iran has been done
in the past and will continue. But, it has always been in words and not
deeds. Yearly reports of the State Department, the European Union, United
Nations, and all International Human Right organizations have documented
the daily atrocities of the Islamic Regime. However, the stop of the human
rights violation never became a condition for making a deal with the IRI.
Worse than this, by applying a sanction that puts pressure on ordinary
Iranians without giving them any hope of support in their struggle against
the IRI, the US and its allies pushed the frustrated Iranians to
reluctantly participate in the so-called election and legitimize the
regime by voting for Rohani hoping that he would save them from hunger and
hardship by removing the sanction. The
U.S. fell into the trap that was masterfully set up by the IRI, its allies
and lobby groups, and unfortunately many antiwar organizations and
individuals. This trap was reducing the options in dealing with IRI to
either military attack or engagement. The U.S. war-hawks politicians who
have supported the regime change by military intervention have also helped
the success of this tactic. Sadly, having experienced the disastrous
consequences of the U.S. military intervention in Iraq and other
countries, the majority of the American people who have not given the
chance to know the third option regarding Iran, has also fallen into this
trap and seems to be supportive of making a deal with the murderous regime
of Iran. Pursuing
this war-recognition policy has created a win-win situation for the IRI.
When the IRI adjusted its identified
uranium enrichment, whether by threat of
military intervention or by incentives, it would be accepted by the world
big powers. Consequently, its reign of terror in Iran would continue. It
is a wishful thinking of interest driven big powers that they can create
stability by legitimizing the IRI. They are wrong. Sooner or later, the
devastating poverty that is well beyond the effect of current sanction and
is caused by the IRI's corruption, as well as daily violation of basic
rights of Iranians, will eventually bring the people back to the streets
and will break the silence in spite of facing not only a brutal regime,
but also the entire “democratic” world standing behind it. The US and
its allies, as well as all “anti-war” groups can then sit and proudly
watch how a regime equipped by atomic bomb massacres the Iranians. They
may not care for the Iranians, but they should pay attention to the
fact that the IRI terrorist activities that are written into its
constitution is aiming for fundamentalist Islamic ideology to conquer the
world. The IRI believes that there is a war between militant Islam and the
rest of the world. This regime feeds its supporters by using this
ideological animosity. By adopting this "god-given" mandate
arbitrarily interpreted from the Koran, the Islamic regime has become the
biggest sponsor of terrorism. It just needs access to atomic bomb to
be in full control. The West does apparently not understand the
severity of this. What
would be the alternative to military intervention and appeasing policies? It
is not enough to say that we share the Iranians dream for a secular
democracy and issue meaningless statements. The U.S. should enforce a
"smart Sanction" that will impose pressure on the regime and not
the people, and add the condition of the release of all political
prisoners to the atomic condition. This will empower the Iranian people to
bring about the real change in Iran without any military intervention. It
will give them the powerful message that the entire world is behind them
and not their enemy. They can overture this regime by civil
disobedience. This
worked in South Africa and will work in Iran. Those who admire the Nelson
Mandela’s fight against apartheid should remember that the release of
all political prisoners including him, was the result of the smart
sanction. Thousand
of freedom fighters who lost their lives during the era of IRI’s terror,
thousands of political prisoners, and many mass uprisings are evidences
that Iranians will not accept this regime and helping them will benefit
the entire world without the need for any military intervention. The
historic time for the U.S. government to celebrate
is
when they make a deal with the Iranians and not their abuser, the Islamic
Regime in Iran. Reference: |
