The CLARITy Coalition stands with the people of Iran, not as symbols, not as martyrs, and never as sacrificial lambs for geopolitical games played far from their streets and graves, but as the inspirations that they are as freedom fighters.
The courage rising from Iran today is a demand for dignity, a cry for freedom, and a refusal to live under an Islamist regime that survives only through fear, silence, and tyranny.
The CLARITy Coalition calls for real solidarity with the people of Iran, not performative sympathy. We call for moral clarity, not strategic ambiguity. We support regime change because the ruling clerics are tyrants who have ruled the nation as dictators since coming to power in a bloody revolution in 1979, and no reform can redeem a system that criminalizes life, truth, hope, and women if they simply dare to free a strand of their hair.
The future of Iran belongs to its people, not to clerics who believe they are God and rule by terror.
This moment matters profoundly for the United States because a free and accountable Iran would reshape the global landscape in ways comparable to the fall of the Berlin Wall, opening pathways to peace, security, and cooperation that have been blocked for generations. Such a transformation would transform the Middle East’s power structure, weakening extremism, reducing the threat of regional war, and reinforcing the democratic alliances that anchor the post-World War II order, including the indispensable partnership between the United States and Israel.
At a time when authoritarian ideologies and illiberal movements are testing open societies across America, Europe, and the democratic world, standing with those who demand liberty in Iran is also an act of self-defense. It is an affirmation that free nations will not normalize repression, excuse tyranny, or surrender moral clarity in the face of intimidation.
Supporting freedom abroad strengthens freedom at home.
Every woman and girl in Iran deserves to have the right to walk in public with her hair blowing in the wind and her voice free in the wind. Every man and boy in Iran deserves the right to walk the streets with freedom in their lungs.
To the people of Iran, we say: we see you, we hear you, and we refuse a world in which your bravery is admired, but your liberation is deferred.
We seek freedom for you yesterday, today, and tomorrow.
