With the recent decertifying of the Iranian regime by the U.S., thus stating that Iran is not in compliance with the JCPOA, current and former leaders throughout the country have come out in favor of the Trump administration’s action, as well as supporting the Iranian resistance, which is represented by the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), led by President-elect Maryam Rajavi.
During a National Press Club luncheon, former U.S. Speaker of the House, Newt Gingrich, praised President Trump for his change of policy, as well as condemning the actions of the Iranian regime and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). President Trump has also designated the IRGC as a Foreign Terrorist Organization
“If you’re not part of the dictatorship, and you’re not acceptable to the dictator, you can’t run, and therefore to pretend that the elections actually offer any serious choice to the Iranian people is simply a fantasy,” said Gingrich. “If you look at the decertification speech, which I think without question is the most methodical outline of how bad the dictatorship is, that any American senior leader has ever uttered, it’s quite a remarkable speech. And what it tells you is that in the long run, it is not just in the interest of the United States to find a better way to do inspections or to find some other device that allows us to continue with the current agreement, it is in the long run in the interest of the United States to find a way to replace the dictatorship.”
Gingrich also noted that the dictatorship is a mortal danger to the United States, because of its increasing influence in the region, as well as its ability to spread terrorism on a global scale. Throughout his time in politics, Gingrich has supported the resistance, noting that they were telling the truth, while the regime has continued to lie to the international community.
