James Carafano: Iran's extremist leaders suffer because of Trump

No matter what you think about Donald Trump, you’ve got to admit he has made life miserable for the odious regime in Iran.

For decades, the Iranian regime has exported extremism, mayhem and chaos throughout the Middle East. Now it’s facing a tremendous backlash across the region — with the worst of it coming from its own backyard. A wave of protests last weekend, sparked by the regime’s decision to reduce state subsidies on gasoline, turned violent. Amnesty International reports that the government killed at least 100 protesting Iranians and arrested more than 1,000.

For the tough guys in Tehran, the best case scenario is that Trump loses next November and that the new U.S. leader is willing to fold and go back to the Obama-era deal.

So how has the life become miserable for "the extremist leaders" ?

All we see in news is some rioters getting shot because they can not afford their gas bills any more.

You probably think the dear leader Kim is miserable because his people are dying of malnutrition ?

News flash worthy of Fox : There is a difference in living standards if you are a leader or a citizen.

Iran is staring straight in the eye of a possible revolution?

Seems the best days in history for the people of Iran were when they were under the leadership of The Shah of Iran?
Not a perfect guy -- far, far from it but,
their people were doing much better back then.
Apparently they want democracy back?

I guess they are not so hot on history on mountain tops.

Iranians had democracy which US and their allies overthrew in operation in operation Ajax

1953 Iranian coup d'état - Wikipedia

Then they installed The Shah as dictator which created the favourable circumstances for the Islamic revolution.

"The Shah's regime was seen as an oppressive, brutal,[32][33] corrupt, and extravagant regime by some of the society's classes at that time.[32][34] It also suffered from some basic functional failures that brought economic bottlenecks, shortages, and inflation.[35] The Shah was perceived by many as beholden to – if not a puppet of – a non-Muslim Western power (the United States)[36][37] whose culture was affecting that of Iran."

And the rest , as they say is history. Even if certain people never seem to study or learn from it.

I bet that if the people could vote over there
they would vote Trump in?
Or one like Trump if they could?

I like how you totally walk over Iranian history without comprehending and just start talking nonsense about how they would choose Trump ; of course without giving any reasoning, historical context or logic whatsoever.

Short or long story, when Yahuweh set the Iranian leaders (and the others) in place,
Yahuweh Knew What He Was Doing, and Did It Perfectly In His Plan. Well Done!

iranian leaders want to do the will of the devil, am i right? what about their people? have they the same hate for israel?
Quote those who said they want to do the will of the devil? Did you actually hear them say that, or read that they said that ?
What about their people? Apparently (from news and internet videos and reports) , thousands (though greatly outnumbered) of their people are being immersed in Jesus' Name, having great hope because of Israel....

Regarding their leaders?
There are only two fathers in which to follow according to the Bible.
One would be the devil and the other would be God of the bible.
Seems like the Iranian leaders don't care much for the God of the bible?

Regarding the people of Iran?
Seems the Word of God is spreading like wildfire there?
No -- I would say that the average Iranian does not hate Israel.

Iranian reformist and democratic forces were better off when there were no sanctions. People had more freedom, younger people appriciated what that freedom gave them and would have eventually replaced the older leaders.

Now US has been shown to renegade their part of the agreement, putting trade sanctions in place and impoverishing the population and creating hardship for the people while giving conservative forces excuse to label all reformist and pro-democracy forces as rioteers and puppets of the US.

What have the trade sanctions given you in Cuba, Russia or North Korea ? Have any of those governments made any great societal changes because they were put under sanctions and imposed foreign threat ?

All you are doing is creating more anger, more bitterness while hoping the results of that will be directed towards Iranian government.

This is far from assured, you might just as easily have exponentially grown the next generation of Jihadists.

Sowing the wind and reaping the whirlwind as it is. Good luck with that. Those decisions will be paid with the blood of your own citizens as well as Iranians.
