40 years of corruption. 40 years of repression. 40 years of terror. The regime in Iran has produced only #40YearsofFailure. The long-suffering Iranian people deserve a much brighter future. pic.twitter.com/bA8YGsw9LA

“This week Iran marks the 40th anniversary of the Islamic revolution, and what a 40 years it’s been: Tyrannizing it’s own people and terrorizing the world,” National Security Advisor John Bolton declared in a video.
“So Ayatollah Khamenei, for all your boasts, for all your threats to the life of the American president, you are responsible for terrorizing your own people and terrorizing the world as a whole,” Bolton asserted at the video’s conclusion, adding, “I don’t think you’ll have many more anniversaries to enjoy.”

Florida Senator Marco Rubio also called out the country on Twitter:
For 40 years, the peoples of #Iran have suffered under the criminality, corruption & human rights abuses of Tehran’s terror-sponsoring autocracy. They have a right to self-determination & deserve a representative gov’t that respects their human dignity & the impartial rule of law
