Q: What is your opinion on the role of women in Iran in the struggle against the Iranian regime?

Q: What is your opinion on the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) and how to deal with the Iranian regime’s problems?

A: JCPOA sought to delay, not stop, Iran from having a nuclear weapon, and the focus is too narrow. The ballistic missile program needs to be taken into account, as well as the regime’s exports of terrorism and desire to destabilize neighboring countries.

Q: What do you think the international community should do to hold the Iranian regime accountable for its human rights record?

A: The international community should take action to hold the regime accountable for its crimes against the Iranian people and lack of respect for human dignity.

 

 

Q: What specific actions do you think Western policymakers should take to stand up to the Iranian regime’s abhorrent practices?

A: Continue sanctions, tighten them if necessary, designate the IRGC as a terrorist organization, and ban Iran Air from using airports.

Q: Can the government legally list the IRGC as a terrorist group?

A: It’s a political argument, but the IRGC should be held accountable for its behavior as the vehicle by which the Mullahs oppress the people of Iran.

Q: What is your opinion on the 10-point plan of Mrs. Maryam Rajavi and her role in the resistance against the Iranian regime?

A: Mrs. Rajavi is a brave and remarkable woman, and her 10-point plan offers a practical way forward.
