US Senator voices support for Iranian people in protests

Jan 9, 2026, 22:08 GMT+0

US Senate Republican Mitch McConnell voiced support for Iranians fighting against government repression, saying its "evil gamble" of domestic repression and foreign aggression is collapsing.

"For decades, the Iranian regime's obsession with exporting terror, spilling American blood, and chasing nuclear weapons was contingent on its ability to repress the dreams and aspirations of the Iranian people,” Kentucky Senator posted on X on Friday.

“Repression at home, aggression abroad. That evil gamble appears to be collapsing, and not a moment too soon. My prayers are with the brave people of Iran as they fight for their future," McConnell said.
