"Negotiating with the remnants of this system is a dangerous mistake"; Op-Ed in The Times, April 16, 2026

Appeasing the regime that massacred 40,000 protesters won’t bring peace. It will only delay the next crisis.

It is time for a clean break. Instead of legitimizing their oppressors, the West should stand with the people of Iran.

My op-ed in @thetimes:

"At this decisive moment there are troubling signs that some in the West are considering a familiar and dangerous mistake: negotiating with remnants of the very system that has brought Iran to ruin."
