Massive anti-government protests have exploded across all 31 provinces of Iran, entering their third week as courageous demonstrators demand the complete fall of the Islamic Republic. But as these freedom fighters face savage beatings, arrests, and executions from regime thugs, they're paying the bloody price for 50 years of catastrophic Democrat foreign policy.
The scenes coming out of Iran are both inspiring and heartbreaking. Ordinary Iranians are literally putting their lives on the line to overthrow one of the world's most brutal dictatorships. Yet where is the support from America's left-wing establishment? Crickets.
Obama's Iran Deal: A Death Sentence for Freedom
Remember Barack Obama's disastrous Iran nuclear deal? The same agreement that sent pallets of cash to the mullahs while they chanted "Death to America"? That blood money is now being used to crush pro-democracy protesters in the streets of Tehran.
"The Iranian people have been abandoned by the very Democrats who claim to champion human rights," said one foreign policy expert. "For decades, liberal politicians have coddled this terrorist regime while Iranian patriots suffered under oppression."
From Jimmy Carter's bungled handling of the 1979 revolution to Biden's attempts to revive Obama's failed nuclear deal, Democrats have consistently chosen appeasement over freedom. They've legitimized a regime that stones women, executes gay people, and now guns down protesters demanding basic liberty.
"Every time Democrats try to 'engage' with Iran, more innocent blood flows in Iranian streets. When will they learn that you cannot negotiate with evil?"
Meanwhile, President Trump's maximum pressure campaign actually worked – crippling the regime's ability to fund terrorism and oppression. But Biden threw that all away on Day One, removing sanctions and sending billions back to the mullahs.
The Iranian people deserve better than decades of Democrat weakness that has propped up their oppressors. As these brave souls risk everything for freedom, Americans must ask: How many more will die because our leaders chose political correctness over supporting liberty?
