Earlier this year, I filed a report with the UN Security Council and the ICC detailing the clerical regime of Iran’s continued, systematic and gross violation of human rights -- within and beyond its borders. It is a sad truth and an established fact that has been highlighted in media and by human rights organizations over the years; however, unfortunately, the regime in Iran remains unchallenged and grows ever bolder in its machinations.

 
Breaking diplomatic relations with Iran presents a new opportunity to shed light on the systematic disregard for United Nations resolutions and violation of human rights by the current regime in Iran.  The more isolated the regime, and the more economic sanctions sap the regime, it is hoped that the Iranian people will rise up and free themselves of this totalitarian regime.
