End the regime for the sake of Iranian women, President Trump

President Trump has done what no other president was willing to do for 47 years: take on the Islamic Republic.

Now, the Iranian people, especially Iran’s women, are counting on the president to finish the job and free them from this theocratic barbarity.

Only Trump can end this 47-year war on girls and women.

In Iran, raping girls and women is treated as routine.

The Islamic Republic and its terrorist militant force, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, have used kidnapping, rape and torture to maintain and sustain power against an unarmed population.

From its earliest days, the regime systematically deployed those tactics to consolidate power and terrorize the population.

Few understood just how extreme the regime’s ideology was until it took power.

Yet in his own legal text, “Tahrir al-Wasilah,” Islamic Republic founder Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini wrote, “It is not permissible to have sexual intercourse with a woman before she has completed nine years of age . . . however, there is no objection to other enjoyments such as touching, kissing, and rubbing the thighs, even with a suckling infant.”

Life became even worse under Khomeini’s successor, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who spent 37 years hell-bent on the pursuit of power by way of barbaric terror.

Bad enough that girls and women are violently arrested for such infractions as showing their hair, singing, walking a dog or demanding freedom.

Worse yet, rape is a standard part of the jail experience for females taken into custody.

According to former prisoners and human-rights groups, young women are routinely raped before execution, based on an Islamic Republic belief that virgins would otherwise go to heaven.

That’s how badly the Islamic Republic has twisted the tenets of the faith.

In January, the Islamic Republic silenced mass protests by firing machine guns indiscriminately into crowds of thousands upon thousands of Iranians marching for freedom.

As this regime has shut down the internet for a month now, there is no final, definitive number of those massacred and injured.

The Human Rights Activists News Agency has reported thousands killed, with estimates ranging from over 4,500 to more than 7,000; other reports place it far higher.

The true number may not be known until this regime is gone.

In March, Iran International reported that two nurses in Tehran who treated wounded protesters were detained and brutally sexually assaulted in custody, suffering injuries so severe that they required major surgery, including intestinal removal and hysterectomies.

These barbaric stories are not outliers.

This is what the Islamic Republic is. And you cannot reform pure evil.

Trump promised the Iranian people that help was on the way, and he delivered.

Now Iranian women are asking him to keep going. Finish what you started. Leave nothing intact: the mullahs, the IRGC, the Basij, the regime itself.

Don’t give up on Iran.
