White "christian" nationalists
Project 2025 claimed the Iran nuclear deal gave Iran “a crucial monetary lifeline.” “Unfortunately,
the Obama and Biden Administrations have propped up the brutal Islamist theocracy that has hurt the
Iranian people and threatened nuclear war. For example, the Obama Administration’s 2015 Joint
Comprehensive Plan of Action, commonly referred to as the Iran nuclear deal, gave the Islamic regime a
crucial monetary lifeline after the Green Movement protests in 2009, which, while ultimately unsuccessful,
did succeed in weakening the regime and showing the world that younger Iranians want freedom.”
[Department of State, Project 2025, accessed 6/24/24]
Project 2025 argued it was in the U.S.’s and the Iranian people’s best interest to have a democratic
government, and the U.S. could use economic and diplomatic tools to help Iran become free. “The
next Administration should neither preserve nor repeat the mistakes of the Obama and Biden
Administrations. The correct future policy for Iran is one that acknowledges that it is in U.S. national
security interests, the Iranian people’s human rights interests, and a broader global interest in peace and
stability for the Iranian people to have the democratic government they demand. This decision to be free
of the country’s abusive leaders must of course be made by the Iranian people, but the United States can
utilize its own and others’ economic and diplomatic tools to ease the path toward a free Iran and a
renewed relationship with the Iranian people.” [Department of State, Project 2025, accessed 6/24/24]
Project 2025 called for broadly blocking “Iranian ambitions” which includes expanding Trump
administration-imposed sanctions. “l First, the U.S. must prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear
technology and delivery capabilities and more broadly block Iranian ambitions. This means, inter alia,
reinstituting and expanding Trump Administration sanctions; providing security assistance for regional
partners; supporting, through public diplomacy and otherwise, freedom-seeking Iranian people in their
revolt against the mullahs; and ensuring Israel has both the military means and the political support and
flexibility to take what it deems to be appropriate measures to defend itself against the Iranian regime and
its regional proxies Hamas, Hezbollah, and Palestinian Islamic Jihad.” [Department of State, Project
