Two days ago Prince Reza Pahlavi delivered a speech at the Washington Institute for Near East policy and answered questions.

For asking the sane world to cooperate with the Iranian people to topple the Islamist fascism, a wide range of groups and persons -from the officials of the warmongering, unreformable and expansionist  Islamist fascists ruling over Iran and their minions, to the lefties and the likeminded “journalist” - attacked him vehemently.

In other words; one should not expect venom to welcome anti-venom, Reza Pahlavi is despicable to all whose livelihood and ideology is tied to the survival of the Islamist fascism.

Airtight sanctions - which includes oil - a la against the despicable South Africa apartheid, works. U.S. lawmakers get to it.

Ps. this is very good read from the late Christopher Hichens on Iran.
