The Senate reintroduced a bipartisan resolution in support of anti-regime protests in Iran just a day after the House of Representatives passed a concurrent resolution.
Sen. Bob Menendez , chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, was among the group of senators reintroducing the resolution on Thursday, saying in a release that he is proud to be joined by his colleagues in"commending the bravery of these Iranian protesters who have stood their ground against the Iranian regime for more than 130 days and counting.
“In the wake of the death of Mahsa Amini, the Iranian people have bravely protested the regime’s brutality and demonstrated their desire for a more peaceful and free Iran,” Sen. Jim Risch said."In addition to addressing Iran’s dangerous collusions with Russia, the Biden Administration should step up efforts on helping to end the regime’s systematic persecution of women and holding human rights violators in Iran to account.
Rep. Claudia Tenney introduced the resolution on Wednesday and also called on the Biden administration to"do more" to confront Iran. The resolution was passed 420-1, with Rep. Thomas Massie casting the lone"no" vote. Ahead of the vote, Tenney called the protests the"most significant popular protest" in Iran since its theocratic regime came to power in 1979.
