The head of the largest group of Iranian exiles in the U.S. is hailing President Donald Trump's condemnation of "gross violations of human rights" in Iran and his intention "to deny the Iranian regime and especially the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps funding for its malign activities."
Maryam Rajavi, president of the Paris-based National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), made clear she felt that Trump's statements Friday, as he declined to certify the Iran nuclear deal, were only the beginning.
She said Trump and the international community should now work toward what she called "the ultimate solution: the overthrow of the regime and establishment of freedom and democracy in Iran."
A major step in that direction, she told reporters, would be the designation NCRI, as "the sole democratic alternative to the terrorist, religious dictatorship ruling Iran to rectify the past disastrous policy."
Rajavi spelled out four steps through which the U.S. could take the lead in urging other countries to take steps against the present government in Tehran.
These include an effort to deny Iran access to international banking systems and to refer the dossier on the regime’s crimes to the United Nations Security Council — especially, its massacre of more than 30,000 political prisoners in 1988.
Rajavi also called for the expulsion of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and its mercenary militias from Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Afghanistan, and Lebanon.
