Trump ally Giuliani says end is near for Iran's rulers

VILLEPINTE, France (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump will suffocate Iran's "dictatorial ayatollahs", his close ally Rudy Giuliani said on Saturday, suggesting his move to re-impose sanctions was aimed squarely at regime change.

 

The former New York mayor who is now Trump's personal lawyer was addressing a conference of the Paris-based National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), an umbrella bloc of groups of exiled Iranians opposed to the Islamic Republic.

 

"We are now realistically being able to see an end to the regime in Iran," Giuliani said, pointing to recent protests in the country sparked by a currency collapse after Trump pulled out of the 2015 nuclear deal.  

 

"When the greatest economic power stops doing business with you then you collapse ... and the sanctions will become greater, greater and greater," he said.

 

At the same conference last year, John Bolton, who was appointed Trump's National Security Advisor in April this year, told NCRI members they would be ruling Iran before 2019.

 

Bolton, who at the time was with the American Enterprise Institute think tank, told Fox News in January: "Our goal should be regime change in Iran."

 

But, freshly appointed to the Trump administration, he told ABC's "This Week" in May: "That's not the policy of the administration. The policy of the administration is to make sure that Iran never gets close to deliverable nuclear weapons."

 

European countries which signed the 2015 Iran deal along with the United States, Russia and China, are sticking with it, saying the agreement prevents Iran developing weapons-grade nuclear fuel. But Giuliani said Europe should be "ashamed" of itself.

 

"This president doesn't intend to turn his back on freedom fighters. The end of appeasement is over," he told the conference of the NCRI, whose main faction is the People’s Mujahideen Organisation of Iran (PMOI) once deemed a terrorist group by Washington and Europe.

 

Maryam Rajavi, who heads the group, told reporters: "Regime change in Iran is within reach as never before ... The wheels of change have started turning."

 

In Tehran, supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said Trump would fail in any attempt to turn the Iranian people against the ruling system.

 

"They bring to bear economic pressure to separate the nation from the system ... but six U.S. presidents before him (Trump) tried this and had to give up," Khamenei said on his website.

"...Bolton, who at the time was with the American Enterprise Institute think tank, told Fox News in January: "Our goal should be regime change in Iran..."

 

Haven't we heard this before? From essentially the same people? And, how did that work out? Good, was it?

 

"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it."

 

 

[simple1]

National Council of Resistance of Iran is aligned to the Marxist People's Mujahedin of Iran (MEK), both groups have at different times been prescribed as terrorist organisations, later delisted. Trump Administration support appears to be way out of line, let's hear the Administration's support for Giuliani's activities or are they as usual out of synch.

Trump ally Giuliani says end is near for Iran's rulers

Mueller says the end is near for Giuliani.  That's why Giuliani hasn't been talking about Russiagate anymore.  During the campaign he suggested he had advance knowledge of the Clinton email leaks.  Flynn has also implicated him in a plot to kidnap a Turkish dissident from Pennsylvania on behalf of Erdogan.

I think their big problem is about to be too much oil they cannot sell.  To China!!!!!  Who will buy more from Iran!   Trump should be putting more effort into renewables instead of making empty un fulfillable promises to coal constituencies.   Fossil fuels are on the way out.  Oil is too valuable to waste it by burning it into CO2.  The switch to electricity for transport has so many people behind it for so many good reasons that it is just like The Donald.  A no brainer!

The fact is none of those six presidents really tried to do so until now. Europeans always wanted to have a nice political connection with Iranian regim since they could take all natural resources of Iran for dirt cheap. Europeans never care about people of Iran. The only thing France cares is own investments in Iran. 

Hopefully Trump will end this regim soon. For good of the world and for good of the people of Iran.

If you just get your information from news every night, then I don’t expect you to know anything about what happened in Iran and Ifghanistan 40 years ago. Iraq as well. 

France sent iran’s revelitionery leader and his team from Paris to Iran by a VIP flight after westerners negotiationed with him in Nofel Loshato, France. He replaced the King of Iran by pre programmed revolution.

And by what right has Trump got to try to end the regime in Iran. It is a sovereign nation and has actually been around far longer than the USA.

 

Just because Trump has taken a dislike to Iran means little or nothing.

 

To end the regime in Iran, Israel and its puppet state, the USA will have to declare war with the USA puppet state of Saudi Arabia. They will NOT get the support of their NATO allies, nor the EU or anybody else and they will be condemned forever.

 

They will probably win in the end but the cost in human lives will be horrendous.

 

Iran will never become a puppet of the USA.

Firstly there was NO king of Iran only the Shah.

 

His name was Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, also known as Mohammad Reza Shah, was the last Shah of Iran from 16 September 1941 until his overthrow by the Iranian Revolution on 11 February 1979. Mohammad Reza Shah took the title Shahanshah on 26 October 1967.

 

There IS a lot about history and it is a pity that you did not take the time to research any of it.

 

https://www.britannica.com/biography/Mohammad-Reza-Shah-Pahlavi

 

Mohammad Reza was the eldest son of Reza Shah Pahlavi, an army officer who became the ruler of Iran and founder of the Pahlavi dynasty in 1925. Mohammad Reza was educated in Switzerland and returned to Iran in 1935. In 1941 the Soviet Union and Great Britain, fearing that the shah would cooperate with Nazi Germany to rid himself of their tutelage, occupied Iran and forced Reza Shah into exile. Mohammad Reza then replaced his father on the throne (September 16, 1941).

In the early 1950s a struggle for control of the Iranian government developed between the shah and Mohammad Mosaddeq, a zealous Iranian nationalist. In March 1951 Mosaddeq secured passage of a bill in the Majles (parliament) to nationalize the vast British petroleum interests in Iran. Mosaddeq’s power grew rapidly, and by the end of April Mohammad Reza had been forced to appoint Mosaddeq premier. A two-year period of tension and conflict followed. In August 1953 the shah tried to dismiss Mosaddeq but was himself forced to leave the country by Mosaddeq’s supporters. Several days later, however, Mosaddeq’s opponents, with the covert support and assistance of the United States and the United Kingdom, restored Mohammad Reza to power.

Wow , you really know a lot, even you know about my English. You must be one of those who come to Thailand to be an English teacher. I have never been a good English student anyway, but I had a Mexican friend who made  me proud since my English grades were way better than him when I was in the university however he was born in LA.

 

Hopefully Trump will do what he has promised That matters here. Not my spelling Mr.  ?
