For over four decades, the people of Iran have yearned to be liberated from the mullahocracy that has brutalized them. Thanks to the U.S. and Israeli militaries, they finally have a real opportunity to secure their freedom.

Yet, some contend the absence since Operation Epic Fury’s launch of the mass demonstrations of the past indicate Iran’s people are no longer a key potential ally in its success. This ignores the fact that American and Israeli officials have insisted they stay home pending the further dismantling of the regime’s security apparatus that murderously suppressed the most recent ones.

Evidently, however, Iranians are now materially contributing to regime change by providing lethal targeting information about the location of checkpoints the ayatollahs’ thugs have set up to control and kill would-be demonstrators. 

As the late, great champion of freeing Iran, Michael Ledeen, would say, “Faster.” 

This is Frank Gaffney.
