We’ve been hearing for weeks, even months, from the White House that the Islamic Republic of Iran was about to sign a deal. True or not, for some reason President Trump’s most recent statements have been taken more seriously. The stock market is up, oil prices are down and some sort of a deal may indeed be announced imminently.
As I read the terms of the proposed deal, whether true or not, my heart breaks because the outcome of the deal will be deadly. There are truly no good terms of the deal being reported, but as much as the terms are bad, the most deadly part is the deal itself.
Unfortunately, any deal will be dead on arrival. I spent most of my life living under the Islamic Republic, and most of my last year in Iran in Tehran’s notorious Evin Prison under threat of a death penalty and being executed at any moment. My “crime?” Converting to Christianity. Not very enlightened to say the least from a regime in control of the lives of 90 million Iranians, and threatening hundreds of millions more. As much as they tried to force me to deny my faith, I would not bend. That is how you make a deal with the Islamists, not by negotiating. By defeating them. Today I am blessed to live freely in the United States and proudly as an American citizen. In America I celebrate unparalleled freedom, the kind of freedom for which 90 million Iranians have sacrificed so much, only to be shot down literally by the evil and brutal Islamist regime.
As nice as it sounds – that the Islamic Republic regime may commit on paper to give up all their nuclear material and never have nuclear weapons – having lived under the regime and suffered its misogyny, seeing my friends and loved ones, including my husband, tortured and executed, I know that no deal they put their name to will ever be honored. I know that before the ink dries they will be plotting their next move with the ultimate goal of hastening their extremist Islamic takeover of the world, the destruction of the United States, Israel and the West – from the outside and from within. I know they will dig their nuclear facilities deeper under the vast Iranian mountain ranges to conceal their intentions and the ability to get to the weapons themselves. Read the rest at wnd.com.
