The people of the Iran should be able to peacefully protest and have their voices heard. I will continue to monitor the situation and hope that their courageous actions lead to a positive outcome.
Powerful speech yesterday from Ambassador on the : “We must not be silent. The people of Iran are crying out for freedom. All freedom loving people must stand with their cause.” WATCH HERE ▶
Last administration gave over $100B to Iran, turned a blind eye to Hezbollah terror, and gave away key strategic chips to the world%27s chief financier of terrorism seeking a nuclear breakthrough. Now they beat and kill their people who push for freedom.
As the enter their seventh day, my thoughts remain with the brave people of Iran who are speaking out against tyranny and yearning for freedom.
Watching the situation in Iran closely. The Iranian people have the right to make their voices heard.
As protests in Iran continue, I share my support for the brave men and women who are speaking out against a corrupt regime and the leaders of the world%27s largest sponsor of state terrorism.
“I am deeply troubled by the arrest of peaceful protesters and the rising death toll in Iran.” Full statement on :
I stand with the right of the Iranian people to peacefully protest. The people of Iran deserve a government that respects human rights and works to address their grievances.
it%27s good we have a president that is willing to speak out for protesters in Iran & their right to freedom of expression & peaceful assembly. It%27s something Reagan did successfully in fight against soviet oppression
The United States must stand behind the people of Iran and their thirst for freedom. That is why I will be introducing legislation soon to sanction Iranian officials, and other entities, responsible for human rights violations.
I call on the Govt of Iran to respect the right of its citizens to peacefully protest. I also urge the Trump Administration to explore options for sending signals of support to the Iranian people.
I join in calling on Iran to protect the fundamental right to peaceful expression, and that means halting any forms of censorship.
I commend 4 calling emergency sessions + urging responsible nations 2 stand w brave people of who face arrest, beatings + death as they call 4 free + open society. We must use all tools 2 hold regime accountable 4 abuses + all illicit activity
America’s timid response to the %2709 Iranian Green Movement was a mistake. Iran is censoring and killing protestors once again. The awful Obama nuclear deal has only emboldened this oppressive regime. We stand for freedom. Thank you for your leadership
Great speech by UN Amb. Nikki Haley supporting the people of Iran at the UN Security Council. As Americans, we must use all our resources including international organizations to support freedom around the world.
Closely monitoring situation in Iran, possible North Korea - South Korea talks, and emergency meeting called in Pakistan. These major intn%27l relations issues affect global stability & American security, so WH must consult Congress & work with us on solutions.
A government that bans social media, jails students, and murders its protesters is not a legitimate one. We must stand with the people of as they fight for the freedoms & basic liberties that have been denied to them for decades!
I call on the Govt of Iran to respect the right of its citizens to peacefully protest. I also urge the Trump Administration to explore options for sending signals of support to the Iranian people.
must pay attention to voices of the courageous protesters speaking out for their rights and well-being. That is the only way forward.
Concerned by reports of violence against & arrests of peaceful protesters in Iran. We stand w all those demonstrating & for their right to do so. There are many issues driving these calls for change & I%27m heartened that among them is equal rights for women
The bipartisan Senate Human Rights Caucus stands in solidarity with the Iranian protestors and urges the Administration and Congress to continue supporting universal values in Iran:
Peaceful protest is one of the basic rights to which all people are entitled, & Iran’s theocratic regime must answer to the demands of those who seek greater freedom & opportunity.
We can%27t forget Iran is a brutal theocratic dictatorship that uses the IRGC to export terror; & fund Hezbollah & Shia Militias operating in Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Yemen--many US servicemen & women were killed by these Iranian trained, funded, and sometimes commanded militias.
