Honorable Senator Cruz,
I am writing to you, the distinguished member of the United States Senate and my Senator to plead with you to stand with the valiant Iranian women, men, and children in their quest for freedom and equality.
Senator Cruz, as you know well, it has been more than four decades that President after President attempted to negotiate with the conniving Mullahs hoping that they would abandon their nuclear ambitions. Even former President Obama offered them a handsome olive branch. Well, to be clear, the Islamic Republic of Iran never stopped its ambition to develop the means to advance a nuclear delivery system. Simply reinstating the JCPOA, as President Biden wants, would allow Iran to legitimately expand its nuclear program and procure advanced weapons.
On top of that, reports that the Islamic Republic state has sentenced approximately 15,000 people to death for participating in the now three months of protests in the country have circulated widely on social media and in the news.
The Iranian regime has shown:
- Blatant disregard for the Vienna Convention and its guarantee of protection for diplomatic personnel.
- Wanton violation of human rights in Iran.
- Sponsorship of terrorism in much of the world, with a focus on the greater Middle East.
- Support for Hamas and Hezbollah in their belligerence against Israel.
- Collaboration with Bashar Assad of Syria’s regime in genocidal crime.
- Commitment to the destruction of the State of Israel.
- Persistence in developing a nuclear weapon program to further its misguided aggressive agenda that can prompt other Middle Eastern States to pursue the course of nuclear proliferation.
In short, thank you for hearing and supporting the freedom-loving voices of Iranians who despise the rule of unelected clerics and wish to end their reign of terror and mischief.
Your courageous support is invaluable for and in the best interests of the United States.
Once again, Senator Cruz, please accept my profound thanks and gratitude, representing the voices of a great many Iranians and Iranian-Americans for your much-needed stand with the earnest plea that you maintain your visionary goal.
Sincerely,
Amil Imani
Professor of Homeland Security
