The bill is a memorial from the Washington State Legislature urging the United States government to adopt a series of measures regarding Iran. It highlights the ongoing struggles of the Iranian people for freedom and justice, citing significant human rights violations, economic hardships, and a violent crackdown by the Iranian government since late 2025. The memorial emphasizes the importance of supporting the Iranian people's pursuit of democracy while avoiding military intervention, which could exacerbate the situation.
The memorial calls for specific actions, including prioritizing diplomatic and humanitarian strategies, enhancing international support for democracy in Iran, and increasing access to secure communication technologies. It also advocates for strengthening targeted sanctions against individuals responsible for human rights abuses, minimizing the negative impact of sanctions on ordinary Iranians, and protecting Iranian nationals in the U.S. from deportation. Additionally, it stresses the need for a democratic process in Iran that is determined by its people, free from external interference.
