Congressman Lee Zeldin’s written statement to 2019 Free Iran Rally in Tirana, Albania
July 12, 2019
“The Iranian people are clearly fed up with Iran’s decades long dictatorial regime’s brutal domestic tactics, dangerous foreign policy, and non-existent economic progress. Instead of caring for its own people, the Iranian regime has dedicated itself to maintaining its title as the world’s largest state sponsor of terror, seeking to appease domestic hardliners who keep them in power. As everyday Iranians have expressed outrage over their government’s misplaced priorities, the U.S. should recognize the inherent right of these everyday Iranians and their noble quest for a better future and free, peaceful nation. We have been down this road before. Millions of Iranians are desperate right now to turn the tide in Tehran and all throughout Iran.”
Rep. Scott DesJarlais
