The Wall Street Journal soon followed. On CBS\u2019s \u201cFace the Nation,\u201d Margaret Brennan opened her interview with Secretary of State Antony Blinken saying, \u201cI want to start with some breaking news overnight out of Iran: They have abolished the morality police.\u201d <\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module alignright\">\n    <\/aside>\n<p>Within minutes of the Sunday\u2019s breaking news, Persian-speaking reporters took to Twitter to expose the regime\u2019s gambit. Iran\u2019s state television and its official Arabic-language channel soon denied the reports. A few hours later, Reuters filed a more carefully crafted story, clarifying that there was \u201cno confirmation of the closure from the Interior Ministry which is in charge of the morality police\u201d and that the chief prosecutor \u201cwas not responsible for overseeing the force.\u201d Other outlets would soon follow. <\/p>\n<p>As of today, the regime in Tehran has yet to pull back on a single element of its brutality and repression \u2014 whether it be targeted at women or millions of other Iranians, including minors. <\/p>\n<p>Based on the convoluted statement of one official in a regime that bans all basic freedoms, including freedom of the press, Western reporters and editors irresponsibly pushed a misleading narrative designed by Tehran to undermine the people in the streets demanding freedom. <\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, the ruse didn\u2019t work. Thousands of businesses around Iran are now closed. Workers are on strike. Students are bringing upheaval to their schools. More and more people are joining the revolt. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/12\/iran-morality-police-729.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Secretary of State Antony Blinken \" class=\"wp-image-24906378\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/12\/iran-morality-police-729.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/12\/iran-morality-police-729.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/12\/iran-morality-police-729.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Secretary of State Antony Blinken said, \u201cI want to start with some breaking news overnight out of Iran: They have abolished the morality police.\u201d <\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">REUTERS\/Saul Loeb<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Media criticism in this case is warranted, with the need to reassess how newsrooms cover deceitful and repressive dictatorships like Iran. But coverage of the Biden administration\u2019s Iran policy must improve as well. The White House and State Department are trying to have it both ways \u2014 claiming support for the people of Iran while holding the door open to an economic bailout for their oppressors. <\/p>\n<p>Blinken expressed solidarity with the protesters during his CBS interview Sunday. But in a separate appearance on CNN, Blinken was asked if nuclear negotiations with Iran were still ongoing. His response? \u201cWe continue to believe that ultimately diplomacy is the most effective way to deal with this, but that\u2019s not where the focus is.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>In other words, an appeasement pact that would generate $274 billion for the regime in its first year \u2014 $1 trillion by 2030 \u2014 remains on the table for Ayatollah Ali Khamenei to accept at a time of his choosing. Contrary to Biden\u2019s pre-election declaration that he would \u201cfree Iran,\u201d Blinken\u2019s comment signals a willingness to sacrifice the Iranian people if their oppressors would agree to delay a nuclear weapon by a few short years \u2014 ignoring other potential options to achieve the same goal without paying Tehran\u2019s extortion racket. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/12\/iran-morality-police-728.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"protests\" class=\"wp-image-24906377\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/12\/iran-morality-police-728.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/12\/iran-morality-police-728.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/12\/iran-morality-police-728.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>A national revolution in Iran is happening after a young girl was brutally killed for not properly wearing an Islamic head-covering.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">AP<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>How demoralizing to millions who might be contemplating joining the revolt. President Biden should be put to a choice: The Iranian people or their terror-sponsoring, anti-American oppressors. Maximum support for Iran\u2019s new revolution starts with taking the nuclear deal off the table and working with European allies to restore UN sanctions on the regime. From there, Biden could authorize the provision of supplies, money, and intelligence to the protest movement \u2014 all with an explicit goal of precipitating the collapse of the Islamic Republic. Other active measures, including cyberattacks to disrupt security force crackdowns, could be considered, too. <\/p>\n<p>The Islamic Republic is an enemy of the United States, directly responsible for the murders of hundreds of U.S. citizens and actively plotting to assassinate former officials. A regime that chants \u201cDeath to America\u201d is now being challenged by people who honk their horns when Team USA defeats Iran in the World Cup. It\u2019s a moment America has been waiting more than 40 years to see \u2014 one the Biden administration appears comfortable letting slip away. <\/p>\n<p><em>Richard Goldberg, a senior adviser at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, served as a National Security Council official, deputy chief of staff to former US Sen. Mark Kirk (R-Ill.) and US Navy Reserve Intelligence Officer. He was sanctioned by Iran in 2020.<\/em>\n                        <\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
