The resolution is the latest move from Congress to condemn the current Iranian regime and support the thousands of women and girls protesting for a secular, democratic, and nuclear-free Iran. The House passed a resolution in January that specifically praised the bravery and courage of Iranian protesters. The protests began in September after the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini, who died while in police custody for not wearing her hijab correctly.
Since September, a series of chemical attacks have targeted hundreds of school girls in what is believed to be a response to the protests. Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said if the poisonings are deliberate, he will seek the death penalty for the"unforgivable" crimes. However, no suspects or details on the chemicals used in the attacks have been released.
