US Bipartisan Congress Meeting Supports Iran’s Resistance and Condemns Regime’s Terrorism
NCRI, December 13, 2023
On December 12, on Capitol Hill, representatives from both political parties in the United States House of Representatives joined forces to voice their solidarity with the ongoing endeavors of the Iranian Resistance that strives to establish a free, democratic, and non-nuclear republic in Iran.
Democratic and Republican congresswomen and men also unequivocally denounced the clerical regime’s destabilizing actions throughout the Middle East. They condemned its support for terrorist groups, its ominous nuclear ambitions, and its egregious human rights abuses within Iran.
In her keynote address at the conference, Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, President-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), asserted, “Faced with a movement aiming to overthrow his regime, Khamenei initiated a Middle East war, using it as a strategy to suppress any potential major uprising. Over the last two months of this regional conflict, at least 225 prisoners have been executed in Iran. Supporters of the MEK and protesters are facing consecutive executions. The leaders of the regime must be held accountable for their crimes against humanity and warmongering.”…
During his speech at the conference, Representative Tom McClintock emphasized the simultaneous increase in Iranian regime-backed atrocities abroad and heightened oppression against its own citizens. The rising number of executions and misuse of the judiciary against Iranians were cited as alarming trends, underlining the urgent need for change. The representative asserted that the threat to safety and security in the region and Iran itself will persist until the regime is overthrown…
As the chief democratic sponsor of House Resolution 100, Representative Brad Sherman highlighted its support for the Iranian people’s aspiration for a democratic, secular, and non-nuclear republic. He stated, “You know, I’ve been in Congress for 27 years, I’ve been a member of the Foreign Affairs Committee for 27 years, where I am the most senior Democrat, and I have been fighting on these issues with you for 27 years.”
