Summary

This resolution expresses strong support for the Iranian people's aspirations for a democratic, secular, and nonnuclear Republic of Iran , while unequivocally condemning the current Iranian regime. It identifies the regime as a primary source of terrorism and warmongering in the Middle East, citing its role in regional conflicts, its support for proxies, and its increasing violations of nuclear non-proliferation commitments, including expanding its enriched uranium stockpile. The resolution acknowledges the significant protests within Iran, led by women and youth, against the ruling theocracy and its repressive practices, particularly targeting women and minorities. It asserts that efforts to change the regime's behavior have failed and that the ultimate solution lies in the establishment of a secular, democratic, and pluralistic republic by the Iranian people. The resolution calls for holding the Iranian regime and its leaders accountable through continued sanctions and urges support for the Iranian opposition, specifically endorsing Mrs. Maryam Rajavi's Ten-Point Plan for the Future of Iran , which promotes universal suffrage, free elections, and human rights. Furthermore, the resolution calls on the free world to recognize the rights of the Iranian people, protesters, and Resistance Units to confront the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and other repressive forces to bring about change. It also specifically requests the United States Government, in cooperation with Albania, to ensure the full protection of Iranian political refugees in Ashraf 3, Albania, safeguarding their rights under the Geneva Convention and the European Convention on Human Rights.
