Iranian dissidents living in exile fault US, Europe for ascending to Tehran after latest developments
Opponents of Iran’s authoritarian government accused two European governments of doing the bidding of Tehran on Tuesday as their headquarters were raided in a violent police action and officials denied their bid to hold a rally in the streets of Paris.
The two separate developments for the MEK, a group of Iranians who have fought against the Ayatollah’s government for decades, occurred within hours of each other and drew serious questions about whether Tehran’s influence was once again being reasserted after months of protests embarassed the country’s government beginning last year.
Iranian American Community of North Texas (IACNT) Welcomes Letter by 108 Former World Leaders, Supporting Iran Protests and Holding Iran Regime Accountable
IACNT, May 24 2023
The recent letter signed by former Vice President Mike Pence and 107 other former world leaders, urging President Joe Biden and his counterparts in Canada, the United Kingdom, and Europe to adopt a tougher approach towards Iran and support Iranian anti-government protesters, is a significant development that reflects the growing international concern over the Iranian regime's oppressive policies.
The letter rightly emphasizes the need to hold the leadership of the Islamic Republic of Iran accountable for its crimes. It calls for blacklisting the Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) and ensuring that regime officials are held responsible for their crimes against humanity. The IRGC's designation as a terrorist organization by the U.S. underscores the international recognition of its destructive and destabilizing role in the region.

More than 100 members of Congress co-sponsored a resolution on Wednesday that condemned the Iranian regime and supported protests in the country spurred by Mahsa Amini's death in September.
The resolution, sponsored by Rep. Tom McClintock (R-CA), was introduced to the House Foreign Affairs Committee with 165 co-sponsors and supported the protesters' goal of a "democratic, secular, and nonnuclear Republic of Iran." The resolution also "condemned violations of human rights and state-sponsored terrorism by the Iranian Government," according to an advance copy of the resolution obtained by the Washington Examiner.
Analysis: Iran executions quash protests, push dissent underground
January 10, 2023; Reuters 
DUBAI, Jan 10 (Reuters) - Iran's hanging of protesters -- and display of their lifeless bodies suspended from cranes -- seems to have instilled enough fear to keep people off the streets after months of anti-government unrest.
The success of the crackdown on the worst political turmoil in years is likely to reinforce a view among Iran's hardline rulers that suppression of dissent is the way to keep power.

Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX) told the Organization of Iranian American Communities. “We are fighting together, we are fighting together, and we seek the freedom of all those in Iran.”
