The regime is showing every indication that they’re on their last legs. Everyone knows they are a regime of terror.
For too long, the United States was sympathetic to Iran.

UK, France & Germany are mistaken in their adherence to [Obama/Biden's] flawed nuclear deal that doesn’t hold Iran to account. It emboldens the regime to continue domestic crackdown & export terrorism.

There’s no question that #Iran is the number one supporter of terrorism in many parts of the world. There’s no question their ultimate goal is to develop nuclear weapons. This regime has identified itself as the enemy of the people.

President Trump ended 40 years of appeasement vis-a-vis Iran's mullahs. He also exited the nuclear deal that helped Tehran fuel regional terrorism.

Iran has turned the Middle East into a battlefield. The aggravated economic situation in Iran could have consequences. It is clear that any vacuum left by the West will be filled by Iran.

Strengthening sanctions on Iran is a proper response to its continued aggressions. The behavior of the government hasn’t changed after [Obama/Biden's] nuclear deal, the JCPOA.

It is an absolute necessity that we hold Iran's officials to account for their crimes against humanity. They tortured a confession out of #NavidAfkari and they executed him. We must hold them to account for this crime.

This battle is not simply to keep Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons and support terrorism. Our battle is to give Iran back to its people.

The government in Tehran continues to commit gross human rights violations in Iran & the region. It has destabilized countries & prevented peace across the Middle East.

Over the past year, we’ve seen [Iran's regime] prove again on the world stage that they are not interested in making peace with their neighbors or respecting Iranian human rights.

Our conflict is with the fundamentalist regime that oppresses the people of Iran. I will continue to advocate for a tough policy that prevents them from acquiring nuclear weapons and suppress the people.

For decades, Iran has cracked down on dissenters and peaceful protesters. #NavidAfkari is one of the latest victims of Iran’s brutal regime. The U.S. condemns his execution and continues to stand with the people of Iran.

Sen. @JoeLieberman, a Democrat, says thank you to President @realDonaldTrump & his admin for withdrawing from Obama/Biden's flawed nuclear deal & for showing how irresponsible, lawless & terrible that deal was. The money went to support terrorism.

Iran has asked for sanctions relief through the JCPOA, yet it doesn’t comply w/ the JCPOA. Our European friends can’t hide behind the JCPOA & argue Iran should be provided relief from sanx when Iran is not even complying w/ the JCPOA.

With each passing year, the people realize the future can’t be the mullahs, the IRGC. There will be more positive things happening, the forces of freedom will become stronger, the mullahs will become weaker & less capable.

We’ll snap back sanctions on the regime because of its JCPOA violations. The regime openly acknowledges the violations.

As the mullahs become more repressive & extreme, the international resistance to them becomes stronger & more resolute. It’s more important than ever to elevate the voices of the Iranian people.

House Resolution 374 condemns Iranian state sponsored terrorism & supports the Iranian people in their struggle for freedom. We will stand with the people of #Iran. I condemn the execution of #NavidAfkari.

Human rights are deserved by the people of Iran. The peaceful freedom fighters who are trying to stand against the regime, they need the support of those of us who love human rights & human dignity.

Regime change is the only hope for the Iranian people to live in freedom. Iran is a wonderful country that deserves a government that works for the people.

Allowing the regime to legally buy sophisticated weapons will not bring about peace in our lifetimes. Appeasing the theocratic leaders in Tehran will not bring about moderation or reforms.

Too many Iranians have been punished for asking to participate in their own government. Thousands have been arrested or killed as part of legitimate protests. Violence towards those seeking a democracy must come to an end.

We have to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons & other weapons of war. We have to isolate the Iranian regime diplomatically & support activists inside Iran working to secure a better and more peaceful Iran.

Cannot be fooled by the regime like the previous administration was in 2015. There is no moderation with them. There is no peacemaker among them.
