Newt Gingrich: State Dept. Has Listened to Iran More Than to 'The Resistance'
Newt Gingrich
WASHINGTON   DC â Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-GA)  spoke to the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) on Friday about the danger posed by Iran and accused the U.S. State Department of listening to that dictatorship more than to those who seek a free and democratic Iran.
 Gingrich  said  he  has lobbied for the Iranian resistance movement in the U.S. and the Peopleâs Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK) since  he  was the top Republican in the House.
 Gingrich  said:
 Gingrich  acknowledged that Iranians have suffered in exile in Iraq at Camp Liberty and Camp Ashraf where thousands of members and sympathizers of MEK have been living for the past 25 years:
 Gingrich  said  âAnd I hope that this administration will now be part of this process of beginning to unravel both the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and then  ultimately  the dictatorship.â
That unraveling should include the U.S. designating the IRGC a terrorist organization  which would have a direct impact on the Iranian economy  according to  Gingrich .
 Gingrich  said in  his  remarks that the extent of the danger posed by Iran cannot be understated.
âAs long as that dictatorship is in power  as long as itâs able to spend money  as long as it is able to project terrorism around the world  it is ultimately a mortal danger to the United States â  Gingrich  said. âAnd of course  it was a terrible thing for the Iranian people.â
âA dictatorship which  in 1988  killed 30 000 people  something which for some reason The New York Times and The Washington Post donât find to be horrifying â  Gingrich  said.
 Gingrich  detailed the Iranâs aspirations in a chilling laundry list:
 Gingrich  also praised President Donald Trump on  his  decision to decertify the JCPOA nuclear deal  calling it âjust about exactly the right pathâ and said that the presidentâs public remarks about Iran have been bold.
That includes Trumpâs speech to the United Nations  which  Gingrich  said was âprobably the strongest condemnation of Iran  of the Iranian dictatorship  ever uttered in the United Nations.â
