Congressman Pat Fallon recently discussed the political situation in Iran, highlighting the lack of true democracy in the country. He pointed out that the Iranian president, who was elected from a limited pool of candidates, does not represent an open democratic process. Fallon noted that a significant portion of the Iranian population, around 70%, holds animosity towards the current regime, indicating a desire for change.
Experts agree that the ruling mullahs maintain power through force rather than popular support. Fallon emphasized that the Iranian people have a rich history and a strong desire for freedom, contrasting the current regime with the era of the Shah. He suggested that a democratic administration would be more favorable for the Iranian population.
While acknowledging the challenges in transitioning to a democratic system, Fallon urged the United States to support and encourage movements towards democracy in Iran. He emphasized the importance of empowering the Iranian people to strive for a government that truly represents their interests and values.
