As the U.K. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak makes his first visit to the White House on June 8 to renew the “special relationship,” it is crucial that President Biden urges him to take decisive action against the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).

As an advocate for human rights and freedom of speech, I have first-hand experience with the IRGC’s reign of terror.
