U.S. Policy Toward Iran
It’s fascinating to watch developments in Iran on Twitter. Iranian activists, their supporters around the world, and supporters of the current regime are playing a cat-and-mouse game that tracks the happenings on the streets of Tehran.
The United States can do little to affect things – and perhaps should avoid doing anything to prevent making it look like U.S. influence is affecting events on the ground there.
Many bills have been introduced in Congress dealing with Iran, but they mostly have to do with nuclear non-proliferation and sanctions. You can see the bills dealing with Iran on WashingtonWatch.com’s “Subject: Iran” page.
Update: House Resolution 549, introduced yesterday, would express “support for all Iranian citizens who struggle for freedom, human rights, civil liberties, and the protection of the rule of law.”
Here’s the current vote on that bill. Click to vote, comment, learn more, or edit the wiki article about the bill.
