Yesterday, on one side of the European Parliament building in Brussels, supporters of the revolution now reportedly underway in some fifty Iranian cities urged the Continent to rally to their cause.

Simultaneously, European foreign ministers met on the other side with their Iranian counterpart, discussing how to prop up the mullahs’ regime by insisting that President Trump continue waiving sanctions on it.

Meanwhile, in Washington, Senate Democrats and nominal Republican Sen. Bob Corker are working overtime with Iran’s friends in the administration and Europe to preserve the fatally flawed Obamabomb deal.

Fortunately, Sen. Ted Cruz has warned Mr. Trump correctly: “Waiving the sanctions on the ayatollah while protesters are dying in the streets would be a serious mistake. We should be doing everything humanly possible to support, to encourage those protests, to tell the Iranian people, we stand with you.”

Amen.
