  • Detainees and defendants: Demands Iran stop executions tied to vague national security charges and ensure all detainees fair trials, access to independent counsel, and protection from torture.
  • Activists and minorities: Urges the immediate release of people imprisoned solely for peacefully exercising freedoms of expression, religion, assembly, or association, including journalists, women, students, and religious minorities.
  • U.S. personnel and accountability: Highlights that militias backed by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard‑Quds Force (IRGC-QF) were linked to at least 603 U.S. military deaths during Operation Iraqi Freedom and cites a January 28, 2024 drone attack that killed 3 U.S. service members and wounded at least 47. It encourages continued targeted sanctions and international investigations.
  • Regional security and shipping: Flags Houthi attacks using Iranian-sourced missiles and drones that threaten freedom of navigation in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden and urges measures to hold Iranian officials accountable.
