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 resulted in significant loss of life and mass arrests. The resolution underscores the long-standing resistance against the Iranian dictatorship, particularly led by women, and calls for international solidarity with the Iranian people in their struggle for freedom and human rights.
Furthermore, the resolution urges 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 emphasizes the need for the international community to condemn the Iranian regime's violent repression of peaceful protests and to support the Iranian people's right to establish a government that respects democratic principles, ethnic equality, and peaceful foreign relations. The resolution reflects a commitment to standing with the Iranian people in their fight against oppression and advocating for their fundamental rights.
