Following Iran's missile attack on Israel, a bipartisan resolution led by Rep. Randy Weber and co-sponsored by 141 House lawmakers has been introduced. The resolution condemns Iran's 'brutal' regime for destabilizing the Middle East and spreading chaos in the region. It accuses Iran of contributing to terrorism and regional instability, particularly in light of recent attacks on Israel.
The resolution also expresses U.S. support for Iranian citizens who have been protesting against the fundamentalist Islamic government. It recognizes the rights of the Iranian people to establish a democratic, secular, and nonnuclear Republic of Iran. The resolution emphasizes the need to overthrow the rogue regime in Tehran and support the freedom-loving citizens of Iran.
Iran's retaliatory airstrikes against Israel, which were largely intercepted, marked a significant escalation in the region. The attack was in response to alleged Israeli strikes on Iranian diplomatic facilities in Damascus, resulting in casualties among Iranian officials. The U.S. and other global leaders have condemned Iran's actions as disproportionate and brazen.
Iran has been accused of financing Hamas, the Palestinian terror group responsible for attacks on Israel, as well as supporting Houthi rebels in Yemen. The resolution underscores the need to address Iran's role in fueling conflict and instability in the Middle East.
