I’ve been following the recent insights of the National Iranian American Council, and it appears that Republican Louie Gohmert has reintroduced a measure that would express support for Israeli military action against Iran. The resolution has 44 cosponsors--all Republicans. The resolution was introduced before Prime Minister Netantahu’s address to Congress.
House Republicans have decided to crack down on Iran. H.RES.271 reads...
Expressing support for the State of Israel’s right to defend Israeli sovereignty, to protect the lives and safety of the Israeli people, and to use all means necessary to confront and eliminate nuclear threats posed by the Islamic Republic of Iran, including the use of military force if no other peaceful solution can be found within reasonable time to protect against such an immediate and existential threat to the State of Israel.
Is it really a good idea to provoke Iran to build its military up when America’s mission is to denuclearize the country?
In another noteworthy story from Iran, Dorothy Parvaz, the Al Jazeera English correspondent detained in Syria two week ago, was released from Iran on May 18. She arrived in Doha, Qatar and gave an interview about her experiences here.
It is good news that Parvaz was released, but there are still many political prisoners and executions occurring in Iran. Kurdish activist Habibollah Latifi has been placed on death row. Student protestor Majid Tavakkoli will soon be celebrating his 25th birthday behind prison bars.
