Sanctions on Iran Are Only the Start of the Battle Against the Terror State

(Telegraph-UK) John Woodcock - The snapback of UN sanctions on Iran is a welcome recognition that Tehran has no intention of honoring its nuclear commitments. The UK should now embrace tougher, broader action to target Ayatollah Khomeini's global network of terror. First, it must target the $50 billion a year in oil revenue essential to the terrorist operations of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps that bankrolls Hamas rockets, entrenches Hizbullah in Lebanon, sustains Houthi piracy in the Red Sea, and pays for assassination plots across Europe. A web of shipowners, brokers and financiers launder Iranian crude into global markets by switching off transponders, rebadging cargoes, and masking transactions through Dubai, Istanbul or Kuala Lumpur. Britain must step up efforts to seize assets, impound tankers, and prosecute those who profit. The IRGC is the custodian of a revolutionary doctrine, funding Hizbullah, Hamas, Shia militias in Iraq and the Houthis in Yemen. Iran's rulers are not sponsors of terrorism. They are terrorists with a state. MI5 has foiled 20 Iranian plots on our soil. We cannot reform this regime into respectability. At its core lies Ayatollah Khomeini's revolutionary doctrine, which demands that the Islamic revolution be exported abroad.
