"I am, by profession, a scholar. But I do not write what follows from the safety of detached abstraction. I write because, by the spring of 2026, the gap between what is now known about Iran and what Western policy is willing to acknowledge has become morally intolerable."

"I have spent more than two decades studying that regime, have written books about it, briefed members of Congress on its internal dynamics, and met men and women of the Resistance whose courage profoundly humbled me—several of whom, I later learned, were murdered by the regime."
