Iran-Gen. Hugh Shelton: Don’t empower Iran’s tyrants

Moderating Iran's fundamentalist regime is simply not a "viable expectation" and the only long-term solution to end the regime's nuclear aspirations, meddling in regional affairs and human rights abuses is a "totally new system of governance based on democracy and secularism," U.S. General Hugh Shelton, former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, wrote on Friday in the Miami Herald.
"Immediately after the nuclear deal with Iran was concluded, the regime’s Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, declared that Tehran’s policies would remain '180 degrees' opposed to those of the United States. Even Secretary of State John Kerry, the deal’s handmaiden, described the ayatollah's latest remarks as 'deeply troubling'," Gen. Shelton wrote.
