The resolution expresses strong support for the Iranian people's aspirations for a democratic, secular, and non-nuclear republic, while condemning the Iranian government's ongoing violations of human rights and state-sponsored terrorism. It highlights the suppression of protests in Iran, particularly those that erupted in response to the death of Mahsa Amini in September 2022, which led to widespread unrest and significant loss of life. The resolution notes the brutal crackdown by Iranian security forces, resulting in numerous deaths and arrests, and emphasizes the long-standing resistance against the Iranian dictatorship, particularly by women and marginalized groups.

Furthermore, the resolution calls on U.S. government agencies to collaborate with European allies to hold Iran accountable for its actions and to prevent the malign activities of its diplomatic missions. It reaffirms solidarity with the Iranian people in their fight for freedom and human rights, while recognizing their right to establish a government that reflects democratic values, including free elections and ethnic equality. The resolution also condemns the Iranian regime's history of state-sponsored terrorism and urges international condemnation of its violent actions against peaceful protesters.
