We’ve been hearing for weeks, even months from the White House that Islamic Republic of Iran was about to sign a deal. True or not, for some reason President Trump’s most recent statements have been taken more seriously. The stock market is up, oil prices are down and some sort of a deal may indeed be announced imminently.

As I read the terms of the proposed deal, whether true or not, my heart breaks because the outcome of the deal will be deadly. There are truly no good terms of the deal being reported, but as much as the terms are bad, the most deadly part is the deal itself.

Unfortunately, any deal will be dead on arrival. I spent most of my life living under the Islamic Republic, and most of my last year in Iran, in Tehran‘s notorious Evin Prison under threat of a death penalty and being executed at any moment. My “crime?” Converting to Christianity. Not very enlightened to say the least from a regime in control of the lives of 90 million Iranians, and threatening hundreds of millions more. As much as they tried to force me to deny my faith, I would not bend. That is how you make a deal with the Islamists, not by negotiating. By defeating them. Today I am blessed to live freely in the United States and proudly as an American citizen. I celebrate the freedom in America for which 90 million Iranians have sacrificed so much, only to be shot down literally by the evil and brutal Islamist regime.

As nice as it sounds, that the Islamic Republic regime may commit on paper to give up all their nuclear material and never have nuclear........
