In Iran, a dangerous regime is harming its people, stripping them of their rights, and spreading lies to cover it up. The world must know where we stand. The Biden administration is leading the way, and I strongly support their newly announced sanctions on some of the world's worst human rights abusers. These offenders are top-ranking officials in the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, the regime's right hand in repression. Sanctions also target the IRGC's business enterprise, which has been funding the regime's brutality for decades. The U.S.' leadership was mimicked by the United Kingdom and European Union. I applaud this unified response from our allies. It is a clear rejection of Iran's violence and a demand for the Iranian people to be heard. The struggles continue, and we must all remember that ``Woman, Life, Freedom'' is not just a chant. It is a call to action. Clean School Bus Program
