the Iran Democracy Act:
SECTION 1. IRAN DEMOCRACY ACT. (S. 1082)

This Act may be cited as the `Iran Democracy Act'.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

Congress finds the following:

(1) There is currently not a democratic government in Iran. Instead, Iran is an ideological dictatorship presided over by an unelected Supreme Leader with limitless veto power, an unelected Expediency Council, and Council of Guardians capable of eviscerating any reforms, and a President elected only after the Council disqualified 234 other candidates for being too liberal, reformist, or secular.
SECTION 1. IRAN DEMOCRACY ACT.
