Washington DC - As the dramatic events in Iran continue to unfold, the thoughts and concerns of all of us here at NIAC are with the Iranian people and with the loved ones of all Iranian Americans who have been affected by the events of the last few days.

American policymakers are still deciding what course of action they should take. It is critical that they hear from the Iranian-American community as they do so.

What is your recommendation? (click one to send)

#1: The US shouldn't interfere.

#2: U.S. involvement would be counterproductive, but human rights violations must be condemned.

#3: The US should voice its support for the demonstrators.

We encourage you to choose the recommendation that most accurately represents your opinion and contact your elected officials. We have pre-written messages for your convenience, but encourage you to modify and add to the messages as you see fit. We have attempted to broadly capture the most common ideas about what the United States should be doing, but we recognize this is not an exaustive list of options. If your views aren't fully reflected, simply modify the message to reflect your views.

# 1 and
#3

never # 2.

We have 30+ years experience in all the fields, let use it to better ourselves by ourselves not by others.

People Will Win. Islamic Republic will go down as one of our darkest times in our history.

The minimum you expect even from lamo like obama is to at least verbaly support the protesters in Iran.A verbal support does not mean he can not talk or negotitate with rulling cockroaches in Iran if he has to.It's actualy the opposite, it shows that you have principal and you will be willing to uphold it even facing the enemy.I have never seen U.S in such a disarray. Furthermore Islamist and IRI lackeys will blame U.S any way so you might as well say your peace.

I think the West  should immediately remove sanctions against Iran! That is the best way the Iranian people will be helped. That would give great support to those who want change in Iran. It will make their case very valid. Once the perceived threat of war is gone, the regime will have no leg to stand on for its persecutions and oppressions.

The West should also immediately ask for talks for the purpose of resolving animosity between Iran and and the West. These two actions will be a very effective blow to stupidity and ignorance and will remove the sources of oppression from the positions of power. 

NIAC war right, working on normalizing Iran-US relationship is the most effective way to help people in Iran. The excuse of "external threat against Islam or Iran" has been the strongest leg that the opressors have been standing on since the beginning. It is time this leg was taken from under them!

I clicked #2.  I also added this:

The US should lift all sanctions against Iran. In doing so the Iranian regime won't be able to use the US as a scapegoat for everything including its failing economy. Iranians would be able freely trade both goods and democratic ideology.

None of these are good

by eroonman on

The US should expose the Iranian constitution and explain to the world how Iran is really run, so that the world can understand what is being seen.

Namely a legitimate objection to unfair laws.

For 30 years, Iran has claimed that it is a democracy. It isn't. It is a dictatorship, whose dictator, Khamenei, has now become the consummate murdering dictator.
