A group of Iranian American professionals has released a detailed statement urging the U.S. government to adopt a principled and informed policy toward Iran, aligning with the aspirations of the Iranian people for freedom, justice, and self-determination. The statement reaffirms support for a democratic, secular, and non-nuclear republic in Iran, explicitly rejecting all forms of dictatorship, including both the ruling theocracy and the Pahlavi dynasty.<\/p>\n

The group warns against reliance on elements within the regime, including the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps<\/a> (IRGC), which it describes as pillars of oppression. The statement also criticizes Reza Pahlavi for his alleged collaboration with the IRGC and for undermining the legitimate opposition led by the National Council of Resistance<\/a> of Iran (NCRI).<\/p>\n

The full statement is provided below.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Statement by Iranian American Professionals on U.S. Policy Toward Iran
\nMarch 24, 2025<\/h3>\n

Together with numerous colleagues, we led the open letter circulated in late 2022\u2014endorsed by 4,400 distinguished academicians<\/a>, including Nobel laureates and renowned scientists. Addressed to the U.S. President and his administration, the letter exposed egregious human rights violations in Iran and emphasized the urgent need for an accountable U.S. policy toward the Iranian regime. Its compelling message, backed by the authority of the academic and scientific community, not only strengthened our call for change but also validated the Iranian people’s demand for justice and for a democratic, secular, and non-nuclear republic in Iran.<\/p>\n

In alignment with that letter, we, the undersigned Iranian American professionals, stand united in supporting the Iranian people’s vision for such a republic.<\/p>\n
