Wow, What a Big Surprise!
Taqiyya Shows Why the Mullahs Can Never Be Trusted in Any Deal
Brother, here’s the hard truth patriots have known for years: you cannot make a lasting peace with people who are religiously encouraged to lie to you. The Iranian regime just proved it again. In the latest round of so-called “negotiations,” the mullahs are usin’ the same old playbook they’ve followed for decades. They smile, promise moderation, and sign papers — all while plannin’ the next round of terror, nuclear cheat, and proxy wars. This is called taqiyya — the Islamic doctrine of deception that lets Muslims hide their true intentions when dealin’ with non-Muslims. It ain’t a conspiracy theory; it’s straight out of their own religious law. The Gatestone Institute lays it out plain: every time the West thinks it has a “deal” with Tehran, the mullahs use taqiyya to buy time, rebuild strength, and strike later. History shows it over and over. Agreements with Islamists are never about peace — they’re about survivin’ until they’re strong enough to win. And that’s exactly why President Trump and every clear-eyed American must approach these talks with eyes wide open and ironclad verification, or we’ll get burned again.
Original article — 2026-04-11, Gatestone Institute, Negotiating With Tehran: The Danger of Diplomacy
Dr. Majid Rafizadeh warns that negotiating with Iran is extremely dangerous because the regime uses diplomacy as a tactical pause, not a real change of heart. He explains that the mullahs follow the Islamic principle of taqiyya — religiously required deceit to further Islam when it appears threatened. Iran’s politicians may sound reasonable, but the real power lies with the IRGC, which controls terror networks and the nuclear program. Past deals like the 2015 JCPOA failed because the regime hid activities, delayed compliance, and waited for political winds to shift. Any agreement must demand total, verifiable, irreversible steps — no phased relief, no trust-based promises — or the mullahs will simply regroup and resume their aggression.

Yoram Ettinger details how the Iranian regime has mastered 1,400-year-old Islamic negotiation tactics, led by taqiyya (dissimulation), khodeh (trickery), kitman (partial truth), and taarof (polite ambiguity). These are not personal quirks — they are religiously sanctioned tools used when facing a stronger power. Khomeini and Khamenei have openly used them to mislead the West, sign temporary deals, and then break them when convenient. Ettinger shows that while the West seeks binding reconciliation, the mullahs seek only tentative pauses to regroup. Any “agreement” is viewed as a battlefield tactic, not a moral commitment.

The article explains that taqiyya is baked into the Islamic Republic’s foreign policy. Khamenei himself has cited it as the reason Iran entered the 2015 nuclear deal — not to end its program, but to survive pressure and later resume it. In Shi’a revolutionary doctrine, the greater the outside pressure, the more religiously valuable taqiyya becomes. The piece warns that the regime is structurally incapable of honest, lasting agreements because deception is a core survival strategy. Western diplomats keep hoping for moderation, but the system is built to deceive until it can dominate.

This analysis shows how taqiyya and ketman (concealment) have become official tools of Iranian statecraft. What Tehran tells Western negotiators is often the opposite of what it does on the ground. The regime presents a moderate face in talks while funding terror proxies and advancing its nuclear goals in secret. The article stresses that ignoring this doctrine leads to repeated failed agreements that only strengthen the mullahs. Lasting peace is impossible as long as deception is a religious duty rather than a sin.
