A Willfully Misguided Plan for Conciliation with Iran

Trita Parsi, the co-founder and executive vice president of the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft and the founder and former president of the National Iranian American Council (NIAC), recently attempted to explain how a future president Donald Trump should “deal” with the problem of the Shiite jihadist regime of Iran. After complaining about the policy of the first Trump term, and the implementation of the “maximum pressure” campaign that Trump frequently expresses pride in, Parsi got to the point:

That is, Parsi, who was an instrumental player in lobbying the Obama administration and Congress in 2015 to create and pass the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA; the Iran nuclear deal), now wants a future President Trump to continue making nice with the mullahs and persuade them to, pretty please, lay off the nuclear-weapons development and the terror sponsorship.
