Aynaz Anni Cyrus and Kaveh Taheri . . . "The anti-regime protest, called the Green Movement, could have led to regime collapse if the so-called reformists had not betrayed the Iranian people. The thing that made the reformists' betrayal even worse was that the American president, Barack Obama, also turned his back on those freedom-seeking Iranians.
"Having been recently elected as a Democrat claiming to bring "Hope" and "Change" to America, Barack Hussein Obama remained silent when millions of Iranians took to the streets in June of 2009. They had hopes of bringing change to their tragic lives under harsh Islamic rule. But Obama was silent when Iranians demanded freedom from the terrorist regime that has threatened the world, especially America, with death and destruction ever since it seized power in 1979. Obama was silent when Iranians cried out, "Are you with us, or are you with them?"
"Instead of offering the people any moral support, Obama stayed passive. His voice could have boosted Iranian peoples' hopes to bring positive change in Iran. His silence revealed that his favor was with the mullahs. It was not surprising.
"After all the treachery that Obama brought to the Iranian people over the next eight years, the political ground for Iran changed after 2016, when the new American president took office in the White House." . . .

Why did Obama turn his back on the Iranian people? . . . "Obama’s obsession with dealing with the mullahs seems to have spilled over into his feckless Syria policy:" . . .
Michael Oren: Obama rejected Iran Green Revolution for nuclear deal . . . "Among the Iranian provocations ignored by the Obama administration, Oren listed the crackdown on the protesters, the kidnapping of Americans, having their missile boats provocatively approach American destroyers, trying to assassinate him and his Saudi counterpart in downtown Washington, the failure to follow through on a red line Obama imposed on Syrian dictator Bashar Assad using chemical weapons and Iranian-backed Hezbollah smuggling massive amounts of cocaine into the US." . . .
