As Iranian-American grassroots activists with Mahsa Army, we had a productive meeting with the office of Congressman @RepChuck Fleischmann to discuss Iran and U.S. national security.
Key topics included:
🔹 We oppose the MoU and any deal with the Islamic Republic that gives the terrorist regime a lifeline and provides it with additional time and resources to regroup and continue its terrorism against the West and the Iranian people.
🔹 The belief that lasting peace and stability in the region require complete regime change in Iran.
🔹 The contradiction of engaging a regime that has spent decades promoting anti-American rhetoric, terrorism and policies hostile to U.S. interests and values.
🔹 The role of Prince Reza Pahlavi, the chosen leader by Iranians, in a democratic transition, with Iran's future ultimately determined by the Iranian people through free and fair elections.
🔹 The importance of expanding internet access and communication tools, including discussion of H.R. 6469 and H.R. 7622.
Thank you to Congressman Fleischmann's office for the thoughtful discussion and engagement on these important issues.
We had a productive meeting with the office of Congressman @RepRalphNorman and discussed the following key points:
🔹 U.S. Policy toward the Islamic Republic:
We strongly oppose the MoU and any deal with the Islamic Republic, which would provide the terrorist regime with additional time and resources to rebuild and strengthen its regional and domestic terrorism.
🔹 Regional Stability:
Discussion on the belief that long-term peace and stability in the region require complete regime change in Iran.
🔹Sanctions and Financial Mechanisms:
We discussed the logistics of the wheat, corn, and medicine trade arrangements and why this strategy is deeply flawed.
While the United States sells humanitarian goods such as wheat, corn, and medicine to Iran, what Iranians truly need is their freedom and their country back. In addition the regime will not give those goods to the Iranian people.
Funds keep is Qatar bank but once these goods enter Iran, they pass through distribution networks and warehouses that are controlled by regime-affiliated entities, including the IRGC. As a result, IRGC will control it and sell to the back market and again gets revenue.
🔹U.S. – Iran Relations:
We discussed how sad it was seeing the U.S. flag displayed alongside the flag of the Islamic Republic, a regime whose leaders have spent decades chanting "Death to America," promoting anti-American rhetoric, and pursuing policies that are fundamentally hostile to U.S. interests and values.
🔹 Democratic Transition:
Discussion of Prince Reza Pahlavi's role as a the transitional leader government.
Emphasis that legitimacy comes from the Iranian people and that Iran's future government should ultimately be determined through free and fair elections and the ballot box which is the final goal of Prince Reza Pahlavi.
🔹 Internet Technology bills:
Discussion of two House bills related to internet access: H.R. 6469, H.R. 7622
🔴 We had a constructive meeting today with Congressman @TXRandy14’s team to discuss critical Iran policy and U.S. national security.
Freedom for the Iranian people is a bipartisan priority focused on national security, human rights, and global stability.
🔹We strongly oppose the MOU (Memorandum of Understanding) that offers concessions to the Islamic Republic, allowing it to gain significant revenue through the Trump administration’s move to lift oil sanctions. We cannot surrender to the regime with a $300 billion reparations fund that will be used to finance terror proxies and destabilizing activities.
🔹 The MEK/NCRI/PMOI/OIAC/CSDI are discredited terrorist groups with no support inside or outside Iran and a history of violence, including against Americans.
🔹 The Iranian people’s chosen national leader to guide a transition to a secular democracy is Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi. His economic roadmap to rebuild Iran after the regime’s collapse is the Iran Prosperity Project (IPP).
🔴 As Iranian-American grassroots activists with Mahsa Army, we thank Congresswoman @RepValHoyle ‘s team for meeting with us to discuss Iran and U.S. national security.
🔹 We emphasized that supporting the Iranian people is not a Republican or Democrat issue, it is a bipartisan commitment rooted in freedom, human rights, and national security.
Which is why we strongly oppose the MoU and any deal with the terrorist Islamic republic.
🔹 We also discussed the importance of preparing for a democratic transition and preventing instability after the fall of the Islamic Republic.
We highlighted the role of Prince Reza Pahlavi as a unifying figure for many Iranians and discussed the Iran Prosperity Project (IPP) as a framework for rebuilding and economic recovery during a future transition.
A free, democratic, and prosperous Iran would strengthen regional stability and enhance the security of the United States and its allies.
🔴 Thank you to Congresswoman @RepJulieJohnson ’s team for taking the time to meet with us and discuss issues critical to both Iran’s future and U.S. national security.
🔹 We emphasized that support for the Iranian people is not a Republican or Democratic issue, it is a bipartisan issue rooted in shared American values and U.S. national security interests. A regime that continues to sponsor terrorism, destabilize the region, take hostages, and brutally repress its own people remains a threat not only to Iranians, but to global security.
🔹 We shared our concern that any agreement with the Islamic Republic, without meaningful and sustained pressure, risks giving the regime more time to survive while executions, repression, corruption, and human rights abuses continue. Decades of experience have shown that the regime repeatedly uses negotiations to buy time rather than deliver meaningful change.
🔹 We stressed that real change must come from within Iran and be led by the Iranian people. To make that possible, Iranians need access to free communication, uncensored information, and continued support from the free world.
🔹 We also discussed the importance of preparing for the day after the Islamic Republic. A stable transition requires planning, coordination, and a clear roadmap. Many Iranians support Prince Reza Pahlavi not as a future ruler, but as a unifying national figure who can help guide a democratic transition. His Iran Prosperity Project (IPP) provides a framework for economic recovery, governance, infrastructure, and national rebuilding, helping reduce the risk of a power vacuum and instability during the transitional period.
A free, democratic, and prosperous Iran would strengthen regional stability, reduce threats to the United States and its allies, and create new opportunities for peace and cooperation. Ultimately, the future of Iran must be determined by the Iranian people through a free and democratic process.
As Iranian-American grassroots activists with Mahsa Army, we appreciate Congreswoman Johnson’s team for listening, engaging, and recognizing that standing with the Iranian people is both a moral responsibility and a strategic national security priority.
🔴 We thank Congressman @RepLangworthy’s team for meeting with us and discussing issues important to both Iran’s future and U.S. national security.
🔹During our discussion, we shared concerns that any agreement or policy shift involving the Islamic Republic, without sustained pressure, may simply be used by the regime to buy time rather than bring meaningful change. Based on our lived experience and information we continue to receive from inside Iran, we emphasized that the regime continues its severe human rights abuses, including executions, repression, and the suppression of dissent.
🔹 We also stressed that change must come from inside Iran, led by the Iranian people, but they need the support of the free world, especially access to communication and connection to the outside world.
We believe a future without the Islamic Republic would bring greater peace and opportunity for both Iran and the region.
🔹 Prince Reza Pahlavi continues to receive support from many Iranians not as a seeker of power, but as a voice for democratic transition and national unity. Ultimately, legitimacy belongs to the people of Iran, who alone should determine their future through a free and democratic process.
As Iranian-American grassroots activists with Mahsa Army, we thank Congressman Langworthy’s team for taking the time to listen and engage.
🔴 We thank Congressman @RepBryanSteil’s team for meeting with us and discussing issues that are important to both Iran’s future and U.S. national security interests.
📝 The Iranian people are the true agents of change. Lasting change must come from within Iran. However, we emphasized the importance of bipartisan U.S. support and continued targeted strike action and pressure on the regime. There should not be any deal , only unconditional surrender.
📝 The divide between "hardliners" and "reformists" is largely tactical. The regime is not reformable, and we believe these factions are working to preserve the system rather than bring genuine change. This regime trying to buy time and mislead policy makers in USA .
📝 Prince Reza Pahlavi as the transitional leader government continues to receive significant support from Iranians inside .Legitimacy comes from the Iranian people and they are already chanted his name clearly and loudly ." This is the final battle , Pahlavi will return "
📝 Concerns regarding VOA Persian and the use of U.S. taxpayer funding to spread narratives that many Iranians believe do not reflect their aspirations.
We strongly believe that the people of Iran and the United States can once again build a strong friendship and alliance, as they had before 1979. Continued support for the Iranian people, firm international pressure on the regime and targeted strike action remain essential.
As Iranian-American grassroots activists with Mahsa Army, we thank you, Congressman Steil, for your support.
@hypr_caffeinatd@RepRoKhanna Interesting how I never mentioned Trump, yet the discussion immediately turned to him. That's a sign of how polarized we've become. Not every issue is partisan. Sometimes it's simply about what's best for our national security and national interest.
@luciecmz@RepRoKhanna Sorry, but I think your comment proves my point. I never mentioned Trump, yet you immediately brought him into the conversation. This is part of the problem—too many issues are viewed through a partisan lens instead of being discussed on their own merits.
🔴 Dear @POTUS do not abandon the Iranian people and the safety of the U.S for a deal with the terrorist Islamic Republic.
Resume your rescue operation and finish the job. 40,000 Iranians didn’t die for the Strait or a nuclear deal‼️
We, Iranian American grassroots activists at Mahsa Army, had a productive meeting with the office of Congressman @RepJoshG .
During the meeting, we discussed:
📝 The Islamic Republic’s use of the Strait of Hormuz as political leverage, its support for regional proxies, and its role in creating instability across the Middle East and global energy markets. We emphasized that a free, secular, and democratic Iran would play a major role in regional peace and stability.
📝 Ways to move forward with the FREEDOM Act (H.R. 6469) and efforts to advance the bill.
📝 Concerns regarding VOA Persian and the use of U.S. taxpayer funding to spread misinformation and propaganda.
📝The alarming increase in executions carried out by the Islamic Republic against innocent and brave Iranians fighting for basic human rights and freedom.
We strongly believe that the people of Iran and the United States can once again build a strong friendship and alliance, as they had before 1979. Continued support for the Iranian people, firm international pressure on the regime and targeted strike action remain essential.
Thank you, Congressman Gottheimer, for your support.
@RoKhanna What have you done for your constituents?
Why are you always attacking Trump instead of talking about your own accomplishments? Is it because there are no real achievements, and you’re relying on votes from people who simply dislike Trump?
@RoKhanna Why do you think people should reelect you? Just tell us the top 3 things you did that helped your constituents. Unfortunately i don’t see any
@samkermanian Thank you iVOL for standing up for the constitutional rights of Americans and Iranian-Americans attending the World Cup on U.S. soil. Silencing peaceful voices and banning flags is against the spirit of freedom and the First Amendment.
