Condemning the Government of the Islamic Republic of Iran for its violent

IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 
FEBRUARY 2, 2026 
Mr. MILLS submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the 
Committee on Foreign Affairs 
RESOLUTION 
Condemning the Government of the Islamic Republic of Iran 
for its violent repression of peaceful protesters, its docu-
mented pattern of human rights abuses, and its sponsor-
ship of extremist militant groups across the Middle East. 
Whereas, since late December 2025, widespread peaceful pro-
tests have taken place across Iran, driven by public frus-
tration with economic hardship, political repression, gen-
der discrimination, and the denial of basic civil liberties; 
Whereas credible human rights organizations and activist 
monitoring groups report that the Iranian regime has re-
sponded to peaceful demonstrations with excessive force, 
including live fire, arbitrary detention, intimidation, cen-
sorship, and broad restrictions on communications and 
independent reporting;

Whereas current civil protests have resulted in at least 3,000, 
and as many as tens of thousands of, fatalities, including 
children and noncombatant civilians, and an extraor-
dinary number of detentions, even as verification remains 
impeded by internet blackouts; 
Whereas, over the past decade, Iranian authorities have re-
peatedly employed state security forces, notably the Is-
lamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (hereafter in this pre-
amble referred to as the ‘‘IRGC’’) and Basij militia, to 
violently suppress dissent, including during major protest 
movements, resulting in significant casualties, detentions, 
and systematic rights abuses; 
Whereas the Government of Iran has been designated a state 
sponsor of terror and has used its foreign intelligence and 
military apparatuses, especially the IRGC’s Qods Force, 
to provide funding, weapons, training, and material sup-
port to militant groups in the Middle East to pursue its 
foreign policy objectives; 
Whereas Iran has continued to provide substantial support to 
extremist groups designated as terrorist organizations by 
the United States and other allies, including Hezbollah, 
Hamas, and the Houthis, which have utilized Iranian 
funding, material, logistical, and intelligence support to 
directly target the United States, its allies, and global 
shipping lanes; 
Whereas Iran’s provision of financial support, often tens or 
hundreds of millions of dollars annually, as well as weap-
ons and operational training, to these groups has been 
documented in multiple United States Government re-
ports and is central to Tehran’s regional proxy network;
