The Policy Exchange analysis, co-authored by former UK Ambassador Sir John Jenkins, details how the Iranian economy is on the brink, with its currency tanking and public protests growing.
Ex-Cabinet Secretary Lord Sedwill, who worked closely with Trump during his first term, insisted Britain must act decisively, backing Trump’s “maximum pressure” campaign against Tehran’s influence.
He added: “While aligning with Trump II’s maximum pressure against this regime, the UK should also insist that a successor, willing to liberalise at home and behave responsibly abroad, can earn a respectable place in the international community.
"From crisis emerges opportunity. It is an opportunity for the UK to lead.”
Iran has been slaughtering its own people in "unprecedented numbers" with executions taking place every couple of hours as the "paranoid" regime lashes out in the wake of defeats against its proxies to Israel.
A swathe of shocking evidence - including official figures and letters from death row prisoners - gathered by The Sun exposes that Iran’s killing machine is responsible for over three quarters of the entire world’s executions.
Official records show that the number of executions last year reached 1,000 - the highest number in 30 years and 16 percent higher than last year.
Iranian resistance group the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) warns that the real number is "significantly higher", however, considering the regime’s use of secret executions.
On New Year’s Day alone, at least 12 people were hanged in prisons across the country.
The grim toll includes women, children and political prisoners - often sentenced to death without any regard to a fair trial or due process.
