On Monday, 38 Iranian dissidents living under the despotic regime in Iran wrote a letter to President Biden imploring him to retain the sanctions President Trump had imposed on the Iranian regime, noting that the “new political reality in Iran and the Middle East has provided the Iranian people with a historic opportunity to achieve a peaceful transition to secular democracy.”

The bold regime-defying act follows reports that Iran’s theocratic government murdered over 1000 Iranians who protested against the tyrannical government in November 2019. Reuters reported the following month, “About 1,500 people were killed during less than two weeks of unrest that started on Nov. 15. The toll, provided to Reuters by three Iranian interior ministry officials, included at least 17 teenagers and about 400 women as well as some members of the security forces and police.”
