,,resolution  ,supporting the people of 
,iran as they engage in legitimate      
protests1 and condemning the ,iranian   
regime for its murderous response4      
,whereas ,iran began experiencing severe
 political unrest following the increase
 of fuel prices in ,november #bjai2     
,whereas reports state that the         
,november #bjai protests were the       
deadliest period of political unrest    
since the ,islamic ,revolution occurred 
in #aigi1 resulting in the deaths of    
hundreds of ,iranian citizens2 ,whereas1
 spurred by the shooting down of a      
,ukrainian airliner by the ,iranian     
military and the ,government of ,iran's 

subsequent denial1 thousands of ,iranian
 protesters1 undeterred by water        
cannons1 tear gas1 and the reported use 
of live ammunition1 continue their      
legitimate protest against a corrupt    
regime1 hoping that their efforts will  
result in a brighter future for all     
,iranians1 not just the elite2 ,whereas1
 on ,january #aj1 #bjbj1 during a press 
briefing at the ,white ,house concerning
 new tough sanctions on ,iran1          
,secretary ,pompeo stated1 ,these       
sanctions targets include the ,secretary
 of the ,supreme ,national ,council and 
the ,commander of the ,basij ,forces2   
that's the regime's brute squad1 which  
has1 in the last few months1 killed     
approximately #a1ejj ,iranians who were 
simply demanding freedom42 ,whereas1 on 
,january #aa1 #bjbj1 ,iran's only       
,olympic medalist1 ,kimia ,alizadeh1    
announced her defection from ,iran1     
stating that she was one of the millions
 of oppressed women in ,iran and that   
she had defected due to hypocrisy1 lies1

 injustice1 and flattery of the ,iranian
 regime2 ,whereas1 on ,january #aa1     
#bjbj1 ,secretary ,pompeo tweeted1 ,the 
voice of the ,iranian people is clear4  
,they are fed up with the regime's lies1
 corruption1 ineptitude1 and brutality  
of the ,,irgc under khameneiir's        
kleptocracy4 ,we stand with the ,iranian
 people who deserve a better future2    
,whereas1 on ,january #ab1 #bjbj1 in a  
tweet directed towards ,iranian leaders1
 ,president ,trump stated1 ,thousands   
have already been killed or imprisoned  
by you1 and the ,world is watching4     
,more importantly1 the ,,usa is         
watching2 ,whereas the ,united ,states  
,government supports the rights of all  
people to peaceably assemble and allow  
for substantive discourse1 and it is    
deeply troubling that a government would
 ignore the concerns of its citizens as 
the ,government of ,iran has continually
 done2 and ,whereas1 now more than ever1
 it is imperative that all nations      
support the people of ,iran as they     

protest a government that for far too   
long has ignored the needs of its       
citizens3 ,now1 therefore1 be it  ,that 
the ,senate-- 7#a7 stands with the      
people of ,iran1 hopeful for change1 as 
they protest their corrupt and          
oppressive government2  7#b7 condemns   
the lethal crackdown by the ,iranian    
regime on the peaceful protestors2  7#c7
 calls on all peaceful and law abiding  
nations to support the legitimate       
protests by the ,iranian people2 and    
7#d7 demands that the ,iranian          
leadership be held accountable for their
 murderous actions against their own    
citizens who want nothing less than to  
be represented by a fair and just       
government4
