A Bitter 41st Anniversary for Iran’s Islamic Revolution

February 10, 2020

(New York, N.Y.) – Iran is commemorating the 41st anniversary of its Islamic Revolution on Tuesday after a series of setbacks.  The Chairman of United Against Nuclear Iran (UANI) former U.S. Senator Joseph I. Lieberman and CEO Ambassador Mark D. Wallace said in a statement today:

“The Iranian regime is reeling from the U.S. maximum pressure campaign.  The death of the Commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Quds Force Qassem Soleimani; the protests enveloping the country; its downing of the Ukrainian jetliner; its failed satellite launch; and its forces being pummeled by airstrikes in Iraq and Syria have all taken its toll on the regime.  However, it would be a mistake to underestimate its ability to weather this storm.  The revolution may be severely stressed, but Iran remains an enduring threat to international peace and security.

“That is why it is time for the international community to join the United States in its maximum pressure campaign.  Isolation, rather than integration, is the only way to neutralize the regime’s destabilizing aggression.”

UANI maintains reports on Iran’s malign behavior, before, during, and after U.S. participation in the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).  Iran’s Ideological Expansion tracks Tehran’s reach geographically, and offers an analysis of the methods the regime employs to spread its revolutionary dogma.  Iran’s Malign Intelligence Activities is a comprehensive study of the Islamic Republic’s hydra-headed and global intelligence apparatus.  Eye on Iran’s Next Supreme Leader delves into the politics of succession, a particularly timely topic given the supreme leader turning 81 this year.  Lastly, UANI’s Moderation Mythbuster catalogues the regime’s recklessness since the JCPOA was signed in 2015.
