Condemning the Government of Iran's state-sponsored persecution of the Baha'i minority and its continued violation of the International Covenants on Human Rights.

House Resolution 492 is a bipartisan measure that officially condemns the Iranian government for its systematic persecution of the Baha’i religious minority and its broader violations of international human rights. The resolution calls for the immediate release of individuals imprisoned for their faith and demands an end to state-sponsored hate speech and discriminatory policies regarding education and employment. Additionally, it urges the President and the State Department to impose targeted sanctions on Iranian officials responsible for these human rights abuses. While this resolution does not change U.S. domestic law, it signals a formal foreign policy stance intended to pressure the Iranian government and coordinate international efforts to protect religious freedoms.
