Zeldin Statement on Iranian Anti-Government Protests | 2017-12-30 | 2017 | 2017-12 | Republican | House | NY | Lee Zeldin | Z000017 | zeldin.house.gov | legacy | WASHINGTON - Today, Congressman Lee Zeldin (R, NY-1), member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, issued the following statement on the anti-government protests breaking out across Iran: The Iranian people are fed up with Irans dictatorial regimes brutal domestic tactics, dangerous foreign policy, and non-existent economic progress. Instead of caring for its own people, the Iranian regime has dedicated itself to maintaining its title as the worlds largest state sponsor of terror, seeking to appease domestic hardliners that keep them in power. As everyday Iranians pour into the streets outraged over their governments misplaced priorities, the U.S. must support them in their inherent right and noble quest for a better future and free, peaceful nation. We have been down this road before. We must learn our lesson from 2009 and not repeat the same mistake. Millions of Iranians are desperate right now for American leadership to help them turn the tide in Tehran and all throughout Iran. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
