Reuters is reporting a drone attack targeting the Iraqi Prime Minister on November 7th was conducted by at least one Iranian-backed militia. The Iranian Americans for Liberty strongly condemn this assassination attempt and we call on President Joe Biden, Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer to cease and desist diplomatic efforts with the Islamic Republic of Iran in the wake of this latest terror attempt.

This assassination attempt is another prime example of how the IRI directly funds terrorism in the region and around the world. The United States of America should not be negotiating with a Regime that funds terrorism, chants “Death to America” and who does not share or support American values.

“The IRI have never been true partners for peace. They are bad actors who seek to enforce their barbaric style of governing onto the region and the West. The American people must speak out with one unified voice demanding our elected leaders take a strong stance against the IRI once and for all.” said IAL Executive Director, Bryan E. Leib
