The Collapse of the Islamic Republic of Iran is Inevitable
On July 11th, 2021 Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and a parade of former officials and current lawmakers from countries around the world told a mass virtual gathering of Iranian exiles over the weekend that the regime in Tehran was weak, illegitimate, incompetent and not long for this world.1
On July 11th, 2021 Stephen Harper former Prime Minister of Canada, Governments worldwide should shun Iran’s incoming president based on his long-standing record of human rights abuses, a former Canadian prime minister argued Saturday in a speech to an international conference on the state of the middle-eastern country.2
Stephen Harper’s remarks came at a virtual sitting of the Free Iran World Summit. Canada’s 22nd prime minister told attendees that hard-liner Ebrahim Raisi’s rise to power is further evidence of escalating extremism at play in Iran.3
“Ebrahim Raisi is a criminal, guilty of crimes against humanity. He is a living symbol of the folly of trying to appease (Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s) regime,” Harper said during his brief speech.4
“Shame on any government in the world that would sit down and try to negotiate anything with an administration led by Ebrahim Raisi.”5
Raisi, a protege of the supreme leader, vaulted to Iran’s highest civilian position in a vote that saw historically low turnout after his strongest competition was disqualified by a panel under Khamenei.6
Harper said this “sham” election shows how efforts to salvage the since-tarnished 2015 nuclear deal with Tehran have only emboldened extremist forces.7
“All pretenses of a so-called moderate candidacy were dispensed with,” said Harper, who served as Canada’s prime minister from 2006 to 2015.8
“The government I led was never fooled by the supposed existence of a phantom moderate faction.”9
