There is a strong, bipartisan delegation of U.S. officials led by former FBI Director Louis Freeh and U.S. Attorney General Michael Mukasey attending the 2024 Free Iran World Summit. I am proud to support the democratic aspirations of the Iranian people. 🇺🇸
2300+ signatories, including 10 American Nobel laureates, 1 Templeton laureate, 125 members of the Nat’l Academies of Sciences, Engineering & Medicine, the Nat’l Medal of Science, Isaac Newton & Fields Medal, and 430 Iranian American #academics urge @POTUS to do more on #Iran. 🇺🇸
Delighted to have an opportunity to discuss #Iran’s pro-democracy opposition with former Vice President Mike Pence in advance of his remarks at the 2024 Free Iran World Summit. 🇺🇸
I often note that #Iran’s clerical rulers fear internal dissent more than external pressure. Now they face both. With #IranProtests again breaking out and the #FreeIran2020 Global Summit hosted by the Iranian opposition a success, is it any wonder that #Tehran is running scared?
I was honored to speak at a US Capitol exhibit on Friday along with the former Executive Director of @freedomhouse, Bruce McColm. We each paid tribute to political prisoners executed by the Shah five decades ago and discussed the Iranian regime's continued human rights abuses. 🧵
The Iranian opposition is displaying incredible logistical prowess in hosting the #FreeIran2020 Global Summit via #Zoom w/ participants from 30k locations, 100 countries, 5 continents. It may not look like last year's meeting but has there been a larger #virtual gathering? @WHNSC
