US Senate candidate El-Sayed evades audience request to denounce IRGC, break silence on Iran
During a University of Michigan town hall event, Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed faced a direct question from a supporter about his stance on the Iranian regime and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). The audience member, wearing a Michigan Persians sweatshirt, pressed El-Sayed to condemn the regime and break his silence on the violent suppression of protesters.
El-Sayed responded by shifting the conversation toward America's military involvement in the Middle East, expressing concern over the risks of foreign entanglements and regime change initiatives. He emphasized that the United States should not be involved in regime change efforts, arguing that such actions often benefit corporate interests rather than promoting democratic outcomes.
