Trump can’t out-negotiate fanatics who ordered his assassination

Published



President Donald Trump, when you entered the political arena, and General Michael Flynn wrote the book The Field of Fight (which I translated into Persian with his knowledge and permission and made available to Iranian readers so that they could become familiar with Islamic terrorism), the Iranian people believed that you would truly distinguish between the brutal, despotic, and bloodthirsty regime of Islamic villains in Tehran, on the one hand, and the Iranian nation, on the other.

The Iranian people believed that you had a serious and genuine determination to overthrow the regime of tyranny, ignorance, and terrorism. The author of this article, who has himself suffered from your policies (four years and four months of my life were wasted in your dungeons without any crime or wrongdoing. And even on Jan. 28, 2018, at Baku Airport, your administration attempted to hand me — the author of a book — over to the Tehran regime! And this was the author of a book on Islamic terrorism, who has only one life and risked it twice to assist the American intelligence and security community in counterterrorism, hoping that it might lead to the collapse of the Tehran regime! This was the conduct of American values toward a writer who loves America and was educated in America.) Nevertheless, I have always defended a serious policy and the demonstration of genuine determination to bring about change in the Tehran regime.
