Today’s Secure Freedom Minute with Frank Gaffney: The fate of Iran’s despotic regime appears to be hanging in the balance. The country’s population – after almost five decades of repression, privation and sharia-indoctrination – are in the streets, risking life and limb to demand the mullahs’ overthrow. Thousands have been shot dead where they were demonstrating; others who were wounded, were subsequently executed.
To his credit, President Trump has repeatedly expressed solidarity with those seeking freedom, encouraging them to keep protesting and promising help to those subjected to murderous attacks by Iranian and imported jihadists.
On Wednesday, however, the President declared that such attacks had reportedly been suspended. While he expressed some uncertainty about the accuracy of such claims, the implication was that the promise of U.S. military action on behalf of the protesters would be suspended, as well.
America must help the Iranian people prevail – not abandon them, yet again.
