The #UpfrontSummit made one thing clear: supporting Iran’s path to freedom is in all of our interests. Iranians are ready for a future built on innovation, economic growth, and global partnership—but their struggle isn’t just theirs. A sovereign Iran, free from the Islamist regime’s brutal grip, means fewer proxy wars, less terrorism funding, and a more stable energy market—directly affecting us in the West. Breaking the Islamist regime’s influence, from our universities to our media, protects our institutions while unlocking the potential of a multi-trillion-dollar economy. The real question isn’t why we should care, but how we can afford not to. @pmarca @shervin @JTLonsdale @elonmusk @dkhos @ROWGHANI @arashf

As an Iranian-American, a physician dedicated to human rights, and a public servant who has served under both Republican and Democratic administrations, I am deeply troubled by the continued support from our Western allies, especially Germany, for the illegitimate Islamist regime in Iran. At a time when antisemitism and jihadist terrorism are rising across Europe, the EU’s willingness to engage with this terror-sponsoring regime is not just naive, it’s dangerous. The recent decision to block @PahlaviReza from the Munich Security Conference, allegedly due to pressure from the German Foreign Office, shows just how misguided this policy is. Pahlavi is a voice for the Iranian people’s fight for freedom, yet he was silenced, while Iran’s operatives continue their terror activities across Europe. —Iran’s Terror Reach in Europe: The IRGC’s “German Network” has plotted assassinations and attacks on Iranian dissidents and Jewish communities. The 2018 Paris bomb plot and ongoing surveillance of Jewish and political targets in Berlin, Munich, and Paris show the regime’s deep infiltration. —Germany’s Blind Eye: While the U.S. has reinstated maximum pressure on Iran’s Islamist regime, Germany and other EU nations continue engaging with it—providing a lifeline that undermines U.S. national security and counters our efforts to contain this threat. —A Global Security Crisis: Iran backs Hezbollah, Hamas, and terror militias across the Middle East, fueling conflicts in Syria and Yemen. Yet instead of isolating this regime, European leaders seem more concerned with preserving economic ties. Supporting or failing to oppose a regime that carries out assassinations and terrorist acts within Western borders is not just baffling—it’s a betrayal of US and Western national security and the Iranian people’s fight for freedom. It’s time for our allies to wake up, end this dangerous appeasement, and stand with those seeking democracy and an end to Islamist regime occupation in Iran—not with the terrorists oppressing them. #Iran #MunichSecurityConference #GermanForeignPolicy #Terrorism #FreedomForIran #USNationalSecurity
