A Persian student whose family he says was persecuted by Iran's regime directly asked Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed if he stood “unequivocally against the IRGC.” He never gave him a direct yes. Iman Dashti told El-Sayed his cousin had been hunted by the IRGC because her hijab wasn't worn properly and said his uncle had been sentenced to death and received 50 lashes. Dashti also confronted El-Sayed over leaked audio in which El-Sayed declined to comment on Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's death, saying there were “a lot of people in Dearborn who are sad today.” Asked directly about the IRGC and Iran's government, El-Sayed said he would always stand with movements for freedom and democracy, then argued that America should not be in the business of regime change. Dashti pressed him again: “You stand with us?” El-Sayed again said he stood with movements for freedom and democracy and returned to his opposition to U.S. involvement in regime change. During the exchange, El-Sayed never condemned the IRGC. Watch the exchange for yourself. See the link to the article and video in the comments.
