Introduction

This submission focuses on the rampant campaign of antisemitic violence and anti-Israel incitement within the Islamic Republic of Iran. This campaign of incitement is endemic throughout Iranian society and is especially aimed at inculcating hatred within many generations of Iranian children. Iranian incitement and funding of armed terror proxies in Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon, Yemen, Iraq, and Syria is responsible for the ongoing armed conflict with Israel and hundreds of thousands of deaths across the Middle East. Iran is behind the orchestrated terrorist attacks targeting Jews abroad carried out in South America, Europe, and Asia. Iran has also driven global antisemitic propaganda and riots that have disrupted life in Western capitals and university campuses since October 7, 2023. In parallel, the Iranian regime has launched a harsh internal crackdown on dissent, using its conflict with Israel as justification to arrest, torture, and execute women, civil society activists, minority voices, and political opponents.
