During Vice President Mike Pence’s Knesset address, he repeatedly put the spotlight on Iran. He made a \u201csolemn promise\u201d to the world that the U.S. would never allow Iran to acquire a nuclear weapon.<\/p>\n
And after his firm declarations about the \u201cdangerous regime,\u201d he had a \u201cbetter\u201d message for the Iranian people. Pence said:<\/p>\n
\u201cFrom the people of America to the proud and brave people of Iran. We are your friends and the day is coming when you will be free from the evil regime that suffocates your dreams and buries your hopes.\u201d<\/p>\n
He added that when their \u201cday of liberation\u201d arrives, the friendship between the U.S. and the \u201cgood people of Iran … will blossom once again.\u201d<\/p>\n
In December, protests broke out throughout Iran over poor living standards and the government’s corruption. More than 20 people have been killed in the clash and thousands have been detained.<\/p>\n
The death of a 22-year-old protester while in police custody prompted humanitarian organizations to question the treatment of detainees and call for investigations.<\/p>\n
Pence tweeted that the Iranian people’s resistance \u201cgives hope and faith to all who struggle for freedom and against tyranny.\u201d<\/p>\n
