What I think has been lost in President Trump's foolish ineptitude in his ultimately failed military action against Iran is the barbarity and cruelty of the Iranian regime.
Prior to the joint the U.S.-Israeli military action, the Iranian regime had murdered an estimated 30,000 civilians protesting for the most basic human rights.
And now comes word that an Iranian court has sentenced singer Parastoo Ahmadi and her production crew to receive 74 lashes for performing without a hijab in 2024 concert which was posted to YouTube. Ahmadi and her team have also been banned from public performance, nor can they leave the country for the next two years.
However, even prior to the military action in Iran, the Left has ignored the brutality of the Iranian regime. Had this military action occurred with an American President with a modicum of sanity then perhaps there would have been genuine regime change. A new regime in Iran which would not subject women to bodily harm if they choose not to wear the hijab. A new regime under which women would not die in police custody because they offended the morality police as Mahsa Amini did and lost her life because of it.
One of the consequences of Trump choosing to surrender to Iran is there will be a lot more arrests and detentions of those who offend the Iranian regime. Parastoo Ahmadi is only the tip of the iceberg. With sanctions relief and reconstruction money coming into the Iranian regime's coffers will pay for more prisons and other tools of repression to ensure the subjugation of the Iranian people.
