For 46 years, Iran has been ruled by an Islamic regime that thrives on repression at home and violence abroad. The ayatollahs have turned a nation with rich history, culture, and human potential into a prison state, exporting terror while its citizens sink deeper into despair.
Too often, the West has excused this tyranny with the cynical phrase: better the devil you know than the devil you don’t. But after nearly half a century of watching Iran sacrifice its people’s welfare on the altar of Shiite-Islamist ideology, the world must abandon this illusion. The “devil we know” in Tehran is not a stabilizing force—it is a destabilizing one.
Iran is a nation in decline. Its brightest minds flee abroad, building prosperous futures in free societies while longing for the day they can return home. Its economy is crippled not only by sanctions but by corruption, mismanagement, and fanatic priorities. The leadership prefers funding Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Houthis rather than investing in its own citizens’ schools, hospitals, or jobs.
What Israel has long understood, the West is only now beginning to grasp: a regime that enforces hijab before freedom, ideology before prosperity, and jihad before peace is not a partner for coexistence. It is an enemy of freedom everywhere.
