Condemning the Iranian regime's terrorism, regional proxy war, internal suppression, and for other purposes.
Summary
House Resolution 1148 is a bipartisan measure that formally condemns the Iranian government for its involvement in international terrorism, regional proxy conflicts, and the suppression of its own citizens. The resolution expresses support for the Iranian people’s right to establish a democratic and non-nuclear republic, specifically highlighting a "Ten-Point Plan" for the future of Iran that includes calls for free elections and gender equality.
For U.S. citizens, this resolution serves as a formal statement of foreign policy intent rather than a law that changes domestic programs; it signals a congressional preference for continued economic sanctions and increased international accountability for the Iranian regime. While it does not authorize new military action, it encourages the U.S. government to work with allies to protect Iranian dissidents and support internal movements seeking political change in Iran.
