,weber of ,texas1 ,mr4 ,webster of ,florida1 ,mr4 ,westerman1 ,mr4 ,wilson of ,south ,carolina1 ,mr4 ,yakym1 and ,mr4 ,davis of ,illinois7 submitted the following resolution2 which was referred to the ,committee on ,foreign ,affairs ,,resolution ,expressing support for the ,iranian people's desires for a democratic1 secular1 and nonnuclear ,republic of ,iran1 and condemning the ,iranian regime's terrorism1 regional proxy war1 internal suppression1 and for other purposes4 ,whereas the developments over the past year have left no doubt that the source of terrorism and warmongering in the ,middle ,east region is the theocratic ,islamic ,republic of ,iran2 ,whereas the ruling theocratic ,islamic ,republic of ,iran has acted as a source of terrorism and regional conflict over the past four decades to ensure its survival1 severely obstructing peace in the ,middle ,east1 and has been a central cause of the regional conflict occurring since ,october #bjbc due to its fueling of weapons1 missiles1 and drones to its proxies and targeting of ships and free trade in the ,red ,sea and ,american forces in the region2 ,whereas there has been support from a bipartisan majority of ,house members for ,h4 ,res4 #cgd in the #aafth ,congress1 ,h4 ,res4 #aah in the #aagth ,congress1 as well as ,h4 ,res4 #ajj and ,h4 ,res4 #aadh in the #aahth ,congress2 ,whereas the ,iranian regime has repeatedly and increasingly violated its commitments under the ,treaty on the ,non-,proliferation of ,nuclear ,weapons 7,,npt71 and defied the ,international ,atomic ,energy ,agency 7,,iaea7 regarding its nuclear programs1 and has expanded its stockpile of near weapons grade of enriched uranium1 a necessary component of building a nuclear bomb2 ,whereas significant protests in ,iran1 particularly in #bjah1 #bjai1 and #bjbb1 primarily led by women and youth1 have firmly resisted the ruling theocracy1 rejected monarchical dictatorship1 and called for a republic based on democracy and pluralism2 ,whereas women and girls in ,iran have been the primary targets of repression by the ,iranian regime's ,islamic ,revolutionary ,guard ,corps 7,,irgc71 and thus1 the main elements of protests against this misogynistic regime that have chanted slogans against the regime and called for freedom1 including ,woman1 ,resistance1 ,freedom in the streets of ,iran2 ,whereas the efforts of ,western countries over the past #de years to change the behavior of this regime have failed1 and the ultimate solution to ending the ,iranian regime's threats is the establishment of a secular1 democratic1 and pluralistic republic by the ,iranian people and resistance2 ,whereas in the first four months of ,masoud ,pezeshkian's presidency1 over #ejj prisoners1 including political prisoners and at least #ag women1 have been executed1 some publicly1 and hand amputations by the ,judiciary has increased2 ,whereas the ,iranian regime has arbitrarily and brutally suppressed ethnic and religious minorities1 including ,iranian ,kurds1 ,baluchis1 ,arabs1 ,christians1 ,jews1 ,baha'is1 ,zoroastrians1 and even ,sunni ,muslims1 and has deprived them of their fundamental human rights1 often culminating in executions2 ,whereas the ,iranian people have been deprived of their fundamental freedoms1 for which reason they oppose any form of authoritarian rule1 reject monarchic dictatorship and religious tyranny1 as evident in their protest slogans1 and seek to determine their destiny1 based on their vote1 as the sole criteria for political legitimacy2 ,whereas ,western nations should stand on the side of the people of ,iran by holding the regime accountable for repression1 terrorism1 and rogue behavior and by supporting the ,iranian people as they seek change2 ,whereas1 in #bjbc1 the ,iranian regime started sham trials in absentia of some #ajd veteran members of the ,iranian opposition1 who are primarily based in ,europe1 including in ,france and ,albania1 to justify terrorist plots against them1 and continues to target ,iranian dissidents abroad2 ,whereas over #d1jjj parliamentarians worldwide1 including #bdc bipartisan ,house members in ,congress1 the majority of #cc legislative assemblies1 mostly in ,europe1 and over #acj former world leaders and #hj ,nobel laureates have supported ,mrs4 ,maryam ,rajavi's ,ten-,point ,plan for the ,future of ,iran that calls for universal right to vote1 free elections1 a market economy1 and separation of religion and state1 and advocates gender1 religious1 and ethnic equality1 a foreign policy based on peaceful coexistence1 peace in the ,middle ,east1 and a nonnuclear ,republic of ,iran2 ,whereas ,mrs4 ,rajavi's roadmap for the process of change in ,iran1 based on the demands of the protesters in nationwide demonstrations in ,iran1 was presented on ,november #bj1 #bjbd1 in the ,european ,parliament1 providing concrete and feasible steps for regime change by the people of ,iran and democratic process for transferring power to the people2 ,whereas the ,united ,nations ,special ,rapporteur on ,human ,rights in ,iran1 in his ,july #bjbd report1 highlighted the execution of tens of thousands of political prisoners in the #aihjs and during the #aihh massacre 7up to #cj1jjj7 and emphasized1 ,the ,special ,rapporteur notes that the atrocity crimes as reported--which took place all across ,iran--represent the commission of the worst and the most egregious human rights abuses of our living memory whereby high-ranking state officials connived1 conspired1 and actively engaged to plan1 order and commit crimes against humanity against the nationals of their own state1 and that an overwhelming majority of the executed prisoners were members and sympathizers of the ,people's ,mojahedin ,organization of ,iran 7,,pmoi_/,,mek742 ,whereas over #ijj women and men of ,ashraf #c in ,albania are former political prisoners who witnessed prison crimes of the ,iranian regime1 and many of them are witnesses of the #aihh massacre and other political killings in ,iran1 who must be fully protected for potential testimonies before any international courts investigating the killings in ,iran2 ,whereas1 in an ,april #ai1 #bjaf1 letter to a ,european ,parliament ,vice ,president1 the ,prime ,minister of ,albania wrote1 ,albania is fully engaged and committed to ensure for the ,iranian refugees all rights stipulated in the ,geneva ,convention #aiea1 in the ,european ,human ,rights ,convention and in the whole international legislation2 ,whereas the right to self-determination constitutes an inherent and inalienable right of all peoples1 forming a cornerstone of international law1 including the ,charter of the ,united ,nations 7#aide71 which underscores the principles of self-determination2 and ,whereas the ,declaration of ,independence of the ,united ,states emphasizes1 whenever any ,form of ,government becomes destructive of these ends1 it is the ,right of the ,people to alter or to abolish it1 and to institute new ,government1 and that when a long train of abuses and usurpations1 pursuing invariably the same ,object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute ,despotism1 it is their right1 it is their duty1 to throw off such ,government1 and to provide new ,guards for their future security2 ,now1 therefore1 be it ,that the ,house of ,representatives-- 7#a7 unequivocally condemns the ,iranian regime's warmongering in the ,middle ,east1 which is a major source of terrorism and regional instability and calls for its end2 7#b7 affirms that addressing the call of ,iranian protesters for fundamental changes within ,iran contributes to peaceful coexistence among neighboring nations and enhances regional and global security2 7#c7 acknowledges and upholds the ,iranian people's inherent right to determine their political future1 as articulated in the ,united ,nations ,universal ,declaration of ,human ,rights2 7#d7 calls for holding the ,iranian regime and its leaders accountable for their crimes through the continued imposition of sanctions and calls for supporting the ,iranian opposition and the ,ten-,point ,plan for the ,future of ,iran1 which aligns with democratic values and ensures a democratic1 secular1 peaceful1 and nonnuclear republic for the future of ,iran2 7#e7 urges the free world1 given that the people of ,iran have been deprived of all their fundamental rights and political paths for change within the framework of international law and the ,universal ,declaration of ,human ,rights1 to recognize the rights of the ,iranian people1 the protesters1 and the ,resistance ,units to confront the ,islamic ,revolutionary ,guard ,corps 7,,irgc7 and repressive forces to bring about change2 and 7#f7 calls on the ,united ,states ,government1 in cooperation with our ally ,albania1 to ensure the full protection of the ,iranian political refugees in ,ashraf #c in ,albania against the ,iranian regime's continued efforts to target dissidents abroad and for them to benefit from all rights stipulated in the ,geneva ,convention #aiea and the ,european ,convention on ,human ,rights1 including the right to life1 liberty1 and security1 and protection of property1 as well as freedom of expression and assembly4
