"You, the resistance. You are on the right path," he says

 

Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said on Thursday that the Ayatollah's days are numbered and urged President-elect Trump to embrace the MEK "resistance" to fast-track the Iranian regime’s fall.

"The United States and the pressure campaign will return, making the regime even more fragile," Pompeo said during a speech at a conference in Paris, referencing Trump's second term. 

"You, the resistance. You are on the right path," he added.

The MEK’s leader Maryam Rajavi attended the event with Pompeo and offered similar remarks.

Pompeo said the resistance movement in Iran has "shown the incredible capacity and resilience to end the regime's brutality."

"And you've exposed much of the regime's nuclear sites, details of Iran's nuclear weapons and missile program and the world owes great debt for all of this hard work," he said. "The resistance has been willing to pay a very real and serious price. It has a platform that we can all support. And now has garnered a massive international support as well."

Pompeo continued, saying, "New U.S. policy, as the new administration comes in, needs to create even more space for the Iranian resistance to be vigilant on the ground."

He noted that Trump often "talked in detail about bringing back the maximum pressure campaign that had proved so successful."

"We can feel that the regime's end is in reach," he said.

He said the rapid fall of the Iranian-backed Assad regime in Syria exposes the weakness of the ruling mullah in Iran, including the Ayatollah Khomeini.

“I think that the fact that it fell so quickly, that it was such a paper tiger and I think that's told the world that the Ayatollah is finished, that his time is complete,” Pompeo said.
