The fight in Ukraine is inspiring U.S. leaders to support human freedom in Iran | Opinion
Ukraine is prompting a better appreciation in the international community of the price of freedom and the sacrifices it demands.
For example, members of Congress participated in events organized by Iranian Americans promoting a non-nuclear, free republic in Iran. Akin to Ukraine, Iran’s plight has considerable impact on the cause of freedom worldwide, and because of Iran’s drive for nuclear weaponry, it is relevant to America’s security. Fifty-three members of Congress contributed to a bipartisan virtual conference to show support for a growing movement to establish a democratic, secular and non-nuclear republic in Iran.
In another event in March, Sen. Ted Cruz was among a bipartisan cast of officials who spoke up for the inalienable human rights of both the Iranian and Ukrainian people. Hoping for continued American leadership, Iranian Americans want the unfortunate Russian-Ukrainian war to serve as a wake-up call for policymakers who continue to assume they can reason with tyrants.
