A bipartisan group of House lawmakers is condemning Iranian Supreme Leader Khamenei's regime after it launched a rocket attack on Israel.
"The rogue regime needs to be overthrown immediately. Now, more than ever, the United States must support the freedom-loving citizens of Iran who have spent decades trying to eject these murderers from power in Tehran. Today, we condemn the godless mullahs who epitomize the head of the snake of war and terror in the Middle East."
The resolution accuses Iran of having "contributed to terrorism and regional instability" in the Middle East in the wake of Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack on Israel, according to legislative text previewed by Fox News Digital.
It also affirms U.S. support for Iranian citizens who have demonstrated against the fundamentalist Islamic government by recognizing "the rights of the Iranian people and their struggle to establish a democratic, secular, and nonnuclear Republic of Iran."

Iran’s retaliatory strikes were condemned by leaders in the U.S. and abroad as disproportionate and brazen.
The country's regime has been accused of financing Hamas, the Palestinian terror group whose militants invaded Israel on Oct. 7 last year in a surprise attack that killed more than 1,000 people. Iran's government has also backed Houthi rebels in Yemen – the militant group that has been attacking western ships in the Red Sea.
