A privilege to make remarks at the Kurdish Friendship Reception on Capitol Hill, where I shared my gratitude for more than a decade of partnership with the Kurdish community—first in Iraq, then in Syria and Turkey, and now with those advocating for a free Iran. Grateful for the friendship and support!
