A group of bipartisan legislators are expressing their support for aggressive action against Iran as President Donald Trump and his administration consider military action.
The group of nearly 60 lawmakers, led by Rep. Randy Weber, R-Texas, sent a letter to Secretary of State Marco Rubio this week, to “express our deep concern regarding the Iranian regime’s ongoing violent suppression of protests across Iran” and “urge the Department of State to continue publicly condemning the Iranian regime’s violent repression of protesters.”
“While we don’t know every step of the plan, we know the man leading it. President Trump’s long laundry list of wins shows he knows what he’s doing, and right now he is putting pressure on the regime, Weber told The Daily Signal. “That is peace through strength, and that pressure cannot waver.”
The lawmakers claim that the protests scattered across Iran make “clear their demand for a secular, democratic, non-nuclear republic grounded in political pluralism and respect for human dignity.”
“Protesters have also explicitly rejected all forms of authoritarian rule, whether Iran’s former monarchy dictatorship its current theocratic system, and seek the right to determine their own future,” the group added.

“At this critical juncture, whole-of-government support is essential to reaffirm the United States’ commitment to universal human rights and solidarity with the Iranian people,” the letter concluded.
“Taking out the Ayatollahs Supreme Leader would be a major blow to Muslim terrorists trying to destroy the West,” said Rep. Randy Fine, R-Fla., of Iran’s Islamic regime in a statement shared with The Daily Signal. “I just signed onto this letter to show support for what President Trump and Secretary Rubio are doing to support the Iranian people as they fight for freedom. We must put an END to the Muslim terror regime in Iran.”
In 2026, human rights organizations like the Human Rights Activist News Agency, claim the regime has killed 2,500 protesters thus far.
The letter was sent as Trump considers wheter or not military action is taken against Iran.
Trump has expressed his support for the Iranian protesters, telling the demonstrators to “keep protesting.”
“KEEP PROTESTING – TAKE OVER YOUR INSTITUTIONS!!! Save the names of the killers and abusers. They will pay a big price. I have cancelled all meetings with Iranian officials until the senseless killing of protesters STOPS. HELP IS ON IT’S WAY,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
The president has also imposed a 25% tariff on any country who conducts business with the Iranian regime, ratcheted up sanctions, and cancelled all meetings between U.S. officials and the Iranian regime.
Nevertheless, the president has also seemed to dial back the rhetoric surrounding a potential strike.
On Thursday, Trump told reporters in the Oval Office that the U.S. had it “on good authority” that “the killing in Iran is stopping, and there’s no plan for executions.” The president took the news positively but did not rule out the possibility of a strike.
This week’s letter comes as Congress is increasingly questioning Trump’s foreign policy with respect to Greenland and Venezuela.
