Iranian Opposition Leader: Tehran Is Force Behind Extremism
(AP) Deb Riechmann - Maryam Rajavi, president-elect of the Paris-based National Council of Resistance of Iran, testifying before a House Foreign Affairs subcommittee via videoconference from France on Wednesday, said Tehran wants nuclear weapons to foster Islamic extremism. She warned against giving Iran too many concessions, saying it would embolden its leaders to be more aggressive in meddling in other nations. "None of the sanctions should be lifted before an agreement has been signed that effectively and definitively denies the mullahs the bomb," Rajavi said. "Otherwise, the regime will spend billions of unfrozen assets to buy weapons, including advanced missiles from Russia." "The ultimate solution to this problem is regime change," she said.
