The Islamic Republic jails, tortures and kills people for what they say and believe, and arms others to do the same abroad. Votes for sanctions and pressure on it, against any deal that keeps it alive, and against pulling American forces out of the fight count on liberty's side. Weight: 3.

Stands with the people of Iran

Lets Iranians choose a free, secular Iran
No record yet
Iran's future is for Iranians to choose in a free vote, under a law that takes no side on religion. Backing that transition counts on liberty's side, and so does meeting or backing Prince Reza Pahlavi, who proposes exactly that. Deciding for Iranians in advance counts against: signing the resolutions that back the MEK's plan, ties to the MEK (an exile group that fought beside Saddam Hussein against Iran), or saying Iranians have already rejected a choice they were never allowed to vote on. Weight: 2.
No signature on the six MEK-backed resolutions (four in the House, two in the Senate), and no tie in the sources I have read. A clean record is where everyone starts, so this principle counts for nothing until there is a deed on it.
I have no sourced record of what Elizabeth Warren has said or done about who should choose Iran’s future: a meeting with Prince Reza Pahlavi, backing a free vote, or a tie to the MEK. Have you seen one? A speech, a meeting, a post, a letter.
