Confronts the regime that rules Iran by fear
100out of 100
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.

Lets Iranians choose a free, secular Iran
0out of 100
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 here: 1 of 2, by the share of chances taken.
- Unclear
Stutzman repeated Prince Reza Pahlavi's call for the United States to finish the job in Iran and said the United States would.
Crown Prince of Iran Reza Pahlavi is urging the US to “finish the job.” And we will.

- Not signed
Did not sign 1 other MEK-backed resolution put before them while in office. Not signing is not a deed, so it counts for neither side; it makes the ties weigh less.
