Letters

(FIRE IRAN ENVOY ROB MALLEY) Fallon letter to Biden: On 11/8/22, Rep, Fallon (R-TX) sent a letter to President Biden demanding that he fire US Special Envoy for Iran Rob Malley. The letter argues: “In stark contrast to the will of the Iranian people and the Iranian diaspora, your administration has yet to withdraw Russian-brokered negotiations with Iran for the resumption of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) or a weaker framework agreement. The continued existence of Special Envoy for Iran Rob Malley’s position and the open door for negotiations with this regime undermine the brave voices that are calling for freedom and democracy in Iran.” The letter includes a list of things Fallon says U.S. leadership “requires.” These are: (1) fire Rob Malley and halt negotiations, (2) work to further isolate Iranian regime, (3) work to snapback UN sanctions, (4) “strictly enforce existing sanctions that were loosened because of the negotiations,” (5) ban entry to the US by Iranian human rights abusers and their associates, (6) counter the Iranian regime’s proxy forces “that are supported and funded by the IRGC), and (7) supply the Iranian people with secure internet access and supportive cyber capabilities. Fallon argues that failure to implement all items on this “is an abdication of the United States’ responsibility as the leader of the free world.”
