This is written by Shahriar Kia who is  a political analyst and member of Iranian opposition (PMOI/MEK). 
The opinions below are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect those of Clarion Project.
U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson announced at a press conference on April 19 that the White House is evaluating its policy on Iran. This policy overview will not merely cover the Iran nuclear deal, but will be a comprehensive look at all Iran-related issues.
At a press conference, Tillerson formalized Iran’s provocative and destructive measures in different fields.
“Iran is the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism and is responsible for intensifying multiple conflicts and undermining U.S. interests in countries such as Syria, Yemen, Iraq, and Lebanon, and continuing to support attacks against Israel … An unchecked Iran has the potential to travel the same path as North Korea, and take the world along with it … Iran’s provocative actions threaten the United States, the region, and the world …” he said.

In a other part of this article Shahriar Kia  adds : 
In 2009, when the Iranian people took to the streets and demanded fundamental change, their efforts went unsupported due to Obama’s appeasement policy that sought to sign the nuclear deal with Tehran at all costs. This was an opportunity that enjoyed the potential of significantly decreasing existing Middle East crises. Today, the regime in Tehran is facing crises far more dangerous than 2009.
The correct Iran policy is supporting regime change by the Iranian people and their organized and legitimate resistance. By adopting such a stance, the international community can begin to confront Iran’s notorious influence in the region and its nuclear ambitions in order to spread security in a non-nuclear Middle East free of terrorism.

Iran aggression against America has doubled since the JCPOA went into effect

Iran aggression against America has doubled since the JCPOA went into effect
17 senators seek to instigate an official inquiry by the Pentagon that would investigate an attack on the U.S. Navy by Houthi rebel forces, backed by support from the Islamic Republic of Iran.
It is believed that Iran used a part of the U.S. $1.7 billion payment to carry out this attack and support the Houthi terrorist forces in Yemen, alongside other worldwide terrorist organisations. The money is believed to have been paid as a ransom to free U.S. hostages. As a result, the U.S. taxpayers may be unknowingly sponsoring terrorist organisations.
Led by Sens. Kelly Ayotte (R., N.H.) and Ted Cruz (R., Texas), the group of lawmakers are pleading with the Pentagon to carry out an investigation into the military activities taking place in Iran since the ransom was paid. There is evidence to suggest that the money that was paid by the US would continue to be used by the regime to further destabilise the Middle East.
“It is not a coincidence that Iranian aggression against America and our allies has doubled since the JCPOA went into effect—the $150 billion signing bonus is clearly going a long way,” Ted Cruz commented in an interview for The Washington Free Beacon.
