Mr. Curbelo, you certainly have been a leader in this fight. It is interesting that you should bring up the dangerous clown, Khamenei, because he has been replaced by an equally murderous, sadistic thug, Rouhani; but now, the international community likes to call him the ``moderate'' leader, where they have had more executions in Iran under the so-called moderate then ever. The ``Death to America,'' ``Death to Israel'' chants continue, just as they continued during Ahmadinejad's time. Whether it is Ahmadinejad, whether it is a moderate Rouhani, it is a Supreme Leader who calls the shots. Nothing in Iran, sadly, has changed. They are calling for the destruction of our ally, and they are calling for destruction of this great country. Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from Georgia (Mr. Collins).
