This resolution strongly condemns the Government of the Islamic Republic of Iran for its violent repression of peaceful protesters , which has reportedly led to thousands of fatalities and widespread detentions since late 2025. It highlights Iran's longstanding pattern of serious human rights violations, including the use of state security forces to suppress dissent and deny civil liberties. The resolution also criticizes the regime's broad restrictions on communications and independent reporting. Furthermore, the resolution condemns Iran's sponsorship of extremist armed groups , such as Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Houthis, through the provision of weapons, funding, and strategic support. This support is identified as a significant threat to regional security and United States interests, enabling these groups to target U.S. allies and global shipping lanes. The resolution demands that Iranian authorities immediately cease the use of lethal force against demonstrators, restore internet access, and release those arbitrarily detained. It urges the U.S. executive branch to coordinate with international partners to promote accountability for these abuses and terrorist sponsorship through targeted sanctions and diplomatic measures, while affirming solidarity with the Iranian people in their pursuit of justice and freedom.
