Bill overview
This House Resolution expresses disapproval of the U.S. Department of State’s statement offering condolences following the death of Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi and other Iranian officials. The resolution cites a history of human rights abuses and support for terrorism by the Iranian regime, including past executions, sanctions, suppression of protests, and attacks on Israel. It argues that expressing sympathy for Raisi is inappropriate given the Iranian government’s actions and policies. Ultimately, the resolution calls for the House to condemn the Department of State’s statement.
