Iranian Americans despise the Islamic Republic more than almost any group on earth. They fled it. They lost family to it. They protest against it every weekend in cities across America. They showed up to CPAC in numbers I have never seen at any political event, because Reza Pahlavi, the man who represents everything the regime is not, was speaking.And then they go home and do not vote.Less than 4% of Iranian Americans cast a ballot in U.S. elections.
AYATOLLAH SAYS IRAN HAS ‘DEFEATED’ US AS TRUMP, RUBIO ACKNOWLEDGE HE’S PLAYING ACTIVE ROLE IN REGIME
Let that land. The community most motivated to see the Islamic Republic dismantled, the community that understands better than anyone what American foreign policy means for the people of Iran, the community that flew flags and filled a CPAC hall for a conservative prince in exile, cannot be moved to participate in the elections that determine American foreign policy.
The regime’s lobbyists are laughing.
This is not a small irony. It is a strategic disaster.
