We have received unconfirmed reports the IRGC has once again turned to lethal force after internet shortages were reported earlier in the week to stop the peaceful protests in Isfahan from spreading throughout the country.

The Iranians who are peaceful protesting in Isfahan are mainly Isfahani farmers who are facing severe water shortages that have left them unable to tend to their crops. These shortages are happening because of the government’s mismanagement of resources.

These shameful acts by the Regime are consistent with their actions for the last +40 years when it comes to the Iranian people peacefully protesting their government. First they ignore the people – then they turn off the internet so their message can’t reach the outside world and when that doesn’t work, they turn to lethal force.

We call on President Joe Biden, Secretary Antony Blinken and all Members of Congress to stand with the Iranian people. Diplomacy with the world’s leading sponsor of terrorism is never going to produce a favorable result that benefits the American people or the Iranian people. Diplomacy with the Islamic Republic was destined to fail from day one.
