Condemning Government Violence Against Protesters in Iran
Legislative Progress
Senate
Key Points
- Senator Lankford and a bipartisan group of senators introduced a formal statement to condemn the Iranian government for its violent response to recent protests. Since late 2025, thousands of Iranians have taken to the streets to protest high prices and economic problems, leading to a massive government crackdown.
- The resolution highlights reports that over 6,000 people have been killed and more than 41,000 have been arrested during the demonstrations. It also calls out the Iranian regime for cutting off the internet and using censorship to stop citizens from sharing news with the rest of the world.
- This action shows that the U.S. Senate officially supports the Iranian people's right to peacefully assemble and speak out. It calls for the Iranian government to stop the violence, respect human rights, and allow for free and fair elections so the people can decide their own future.
