Commentary

“The overthrow of this regime inevitably requires a willingness to pay the necessary price, it requires the practice of honesty and sacrifice, it requires an organization and a sturdy political alternative, and it requires the organization of resistance units and an army of liberation.”   (Maryam Rajavi - 30 June 2018)

The US, with the help of its international allies, including Israel, must do everything in its power to provide, at the most opportune moment, arms and know-how to the Iranian people.
The regime, as ruthless as they come, will commit any kind of atrocity if it feels it is in danger. 

For four decades the people of Iran have been disarmed and left defenceless against the might of the Iranian armed forces.

It would be totally cynical and self-defeating were the US and others to encourage the protesters without planning how they can defend themselves and bring down the regime as the current protests escalate.

To be able to provide these arms, protesters who can bear arms must be identified and contacted, and networks have to be built to supply the arms. These must be tailored to meet the needs of a variegated group of people operating in different environments: urban warfare, hit-and-run ambushes on roads and railway tracks, and hit squads attempting to assassinate regime officials and security personnel in a bid to turn the hunters into the hunted.

In areas inhabited by minorities, such as the Kurds, or the Arabs in the southwest, efforts should be expended to advance to guerrilla operations. Heating up the periphery where these minorities live, will do much to reduce the strain on the urban fighters, who will carry the brunt of the fighting in meeting the most strategic goal of the conflict – taking Tehran.

Iran’s freedom fighters will have to be given intelligence, which imposes the arduous task of making sure both arms and intelligence flows to the genuine opposition rather than into the hands of state agents.

Sanctions are imposing tremendous hardship on the Iranian people but it also drive home the point that the maintenance of the regime is untenable, and the quicker it is removed the quicker there will be relief for the Iranian people.

Such a realization will hopefully bring many to give aid and shelter to the freedom fighters.
At some point, the current sanctions against Iran will have to be intensified by much tougher sanctions to the point of a blockade on the country’s ports or flight zones.

Revolution is all about coalition- building. It was the massive coalition of disparate groups in 1978 that brought down the shah, and only a broad coalition of forces will bring the ayatollahs down.
Moving too early might alienate the conservative and nationalist majority and play into the hands of government propaganda; Moving too slowly facilitates regime efforts to crush the opposition.

Planning and creating the rudimentary network to provide arms and intelligence should have started long ago and if the US and its allies haven’t started yet, it must be done now. The question of when the US and its allies should begin the flow of arms and intelligence poses the real problem as the revolution grows.

Few entities in the past half-century have caused so much harm and pain as the ayatollah regime and the message must be clear: The regime of the ayatollahs is doomed and must be removed.

Evil must be defeated!
