USAGM is committed to accurate coverage of developments in Iran, amplifying the voices of the brave Iranian people, and clearly conveying U.S. foreign policy. We are not in the business of selecting Iran’s political leadership. That would be irresponsible of any outside news organization. That decision belongs solely to Iran’s 93 million citizens, who have a right to self-determination. Right now, the story should be about them, not the numerous opposition groups outside Iran. Elevating external opposition figures over voices inside the country risks externalizing the conflict in ways that would only benefit the cruel regime and undermine protesters on the ground. It would be inappropriate to elevate a singular voice and as President Trump said, we should ‘see who emerges’ as the next leader of Iran.
