Whereas the Iranian regime is responsible for executing dozens of assassination plots targeting American citizens and serving government officials on United States soil;
Whereas Tehran continues to harbor a network of senior al-Qaeda leaders, providing them with sanctuary space to fundraise in support of its fighters;
Whereas, in January 2024, United States servicemembers, Sergeant William Jerome Rivers, Specialist Kennedy Ladon Sanders, and Specialist Breonna Alexsondria Moffett were killed in an Iranian backed proxy attack on Tower 22 in Jordan;
