Members of Congress on Thursday held a briefing on a bipartisan resolution calling for a change in Iran policy in response to ongoing protests in the Islamic Republic.
The resolution expressing support for the Iranian people's desire for a free country and condemning Tehran's human rights violations has 222 cosponsors, which is the majority of the House of Representatives.
"I think everyone senses that the day of Iran's liberation is approaching and its deliverance will be at the hands of the Iranian people and their friends and supporters around the world," California Republican Rep. Tom McClintock, the resolution's sponsor, said.
Iran has been wracked by protests since the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini, who was arrested by the country's so-called morality police for allegedly not properly wearing her hijab.
