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 have resulted in significant loss of life and mass arrests. The resolution underscores the Iranian regime's history of brutal repression against its citizens, particularly women and ethnic minorities, and calls for international condemnation of the regime's actions.

Furthermore, the resolution urges U.S. government agencies to collaborate with European allies to hold Iran accountable for its diplomatic misconduct and to prevent its malign activities abroad. It emphasizes 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 past and present acts of terrorism, particularly those targeting U.S. citizens and dissidents, and calls for a foreign policy that promotes peaceful coexistence.
