CUFI’s ‘Operation Mordecai’ campaign booklet provides an overview of the threat from Iran to Israel and the West.
The 16-page booklet explains the ideology behind the tyrannous Iranian regime, Hezbollah’s influence in the UK, the Iran Deal and highlights the plight of Jews and Christians living in Iran.

Includes map of Iran’s influence across the region
hatred for all things Western goes back to the very founding of the Islamic Republic.
Iran’s latest antics, both its kidnapping of Westerners and its seizure of oil tankers in the Persian Gulf, are part of a wider effort to blackmail European countries into remaining party to the Iran nuclear agreement because it affords Tehran economic benefits. But the time has come to stop paying Iran’s ransom demands.
During his election campaign, Johnson promised to be tough on Iran. The United Kingdom has now joined with the United States in the mission to protect the Strait of Hormuz from further Iranian tanker seizures, but only after attempts to create a European task force failed. Joining with America on this singular mission is a positive move, but it’s not enough. The United Kingdom must walk away from the failed nuclear agreement. We must demand the immediate and unconditional release of British citizens. And we must restart sanctions against the Iranian regime to maximize economic and diplomatic pressure on this tyrant.
Tehran doesn’t understand compromise; the regime confuses it with weakness. It only understands strength. The British have faced this kind of enemy before. Let us recall the lessons of our own history and cease appeasing an evil regime. If, at this moment, the United Kingdom shows clear moral leadership in the effort to defang Tehran, then maybe the world’s leading economies will follow suit, and we’ll have a real opportunity to avoid a conflict with Iran that no one wants.
