Iranian human rights activist and journalist Vahid Beheshti delivered a speech on Capitol Hill, warning about the Iranian government’s threat to Western democracies. He said the main goal of the regime is to turn the world into an Islamic theocracy and is attempting this by employing tactics such as spreading propaganda, funding proxy wars and terrorism, and cyber attacks.
