Mr. Chair, the future of Iran and the future Iranian government is up to the Iranian people. I think the Iranian diaspora here has been very clear in their cautious optimism for what this opportunity has created. There have been family members who have died with the hope of an opportunity to have a new government, a new life. That moment has come, and they are cautiously excited about it, but it would be up to the Iranian people to democratically elect their new government.
