Dear President Biden,

Once again, the brave Iranian people have taken to the streets peacefully protesting their corrupt government. The latest uprising is in the Isfahan province, the third largest city in Iran.

My organization, the Iranian Americans for Liberty immediately issued a statement on the situation and we called on you to break your silence.

As of the publishing of this letter, you have remained silent President Joe Biden.

On Nov. 17 in Washington D.C., 37 Republicans strongly condemned the Islamic Republic of Iran for their vast human rights violations by introducing H.Res. 800.

The resolution has been referred to the House Foreign Affairs Committee (HFAC). This resolution should have your support and the support of every single Democrat on the HFAC.

Approximately one week after these lawmakers - led by Rep. Jim Hagedorn, R-Minn. - introduced H.Res. 800, the Islamic Republic again violated the human rights of the Iranian people when they opened fire into the crowds of citizens in the Isfahan province.

Deaths and injuries are being reported from individuals inside Iran.

I believe that H.Res. 800 was introduced by lawmakers as a response to President Biden changing this year's State Department report on Iran by omitting any reference to last year's report regarding the 1,500 Iranians who were reportedly killed by the regime in November 2019 and to forcefully condemn the repeated human rights violations carried out the the Islamic Republic of Iran.

I have some questions for you, Mr. President:

Why have you continued to remain silent as the Iranian people are killed by the very government that you insist we negotiate with?

Why haven't you recalled your special envoy to Iran, Robert Malley?

Why do you think it's a wise idea to engage in diplomacy with another government that savagely dispatches their own citizens, oppresss religious minorities, chants "Death to America" and oh by the way, spends billions every year funding terrorist groups?

Why do you project so much weakness globally, as the most powerful man in the world?

Finally, my last question is this; What is your endgame? Who is getting rich off diplomacy with the mullahs in Tehran?

In closing, as an American, your presidency will be remembered as one projection of weakness after another; one bad deal after another and one lie to the American people after another.

Shame on you Mr. President, for remaining silent as the Islamic Republic of Iran murders their citizens again.
