Iran's future is for Iranians to choose in a free vote, under a law that takes no side on religion. Backing that transition counts on liberty's side, and so does meeting or backing Prince Reza Pahlavi, who proposes exactly that. Deciding for Iranians in advance counts against: signing the resolutions that back the MEK's plan, ties to the MEK (an exile group that fought beside Saddam Hussein against Iran), or saying Iranians have already rejected a choice they were never allowed to vote on.

  Cosponsored: Expressing support for the Iranian people's desires for a democratic, secular, and nonnuclear Republic of Iran

  Condemns the regime's terrorism and repression and cites support for the ten-point plan of Maryam Rajavi of the MEK-linked National Council of Resistance of Iran. It says Iranian protesters 'rejected monarchical dictatorship' as well as the ruling theocracy. The text backs the ten-point plan of Maryam Rajavi, who leads the political arm of the MEK, and says Iranians have rejected the monarchy. That decides for Iranians, in advance and in one exile group's favour, what they may choose once the regime is gone. So signing it counts against letting Iranians choose, as a tie to the MEK.
