Re: H.R. 5056
It is important to have diplomatic relations with Iran but the persecution of the Bahá’ís needs to addressed up front and resolved. Iran is practicing segregation or apartheid but unlike most forms of segregation or apartheid the Bahá’ís don’t just have unequal rights they don’t have any rights at all.
Here is a quote from the attached linked article.
“While the Baha'i faith, founded on notions of equality and humanitarianism, originated in what would become the Islamic Republic of Iran, members of the religious community have faced persecution since the republic's establishment under the Islamic constitution of 1979.
According to the Iranian government, the Baha'i population represents a political sect, not a religious community, and is consequently regarded as apostate. Although the rights of certain minority groups, such as Christians and Zoroastrians, are explicitly protected under the constitution of the Islamic republic, the Baha'i population, estimated by the U.S. Department of State to be approximately 300,000-350,000 of the majority Muslim population, enjoys no rights.
The unprotected status of the Bahá’ís facilitates discrimination without justification within the Iranian legal system. Courts in Iran have denied Bahá’ís the right of redress or protection against assault, killings, or other forms of persecution. These courts have established that Iranian citizens who kill or injure Bahá’ís are not liable for damages because their victims are "unprotected infidels"

Satellites used in Home surveillance
No citizen is entirely without danger of being harmed by the U S Governments’
Space Satellite programs using high frequency energy, lasers. Similar to the
surveillance used during the Viet Nam War, these units are able to penetrate just about
anything, characterizing human bodies as they walk though their homes. There are
very few places within a home that cannot be spied upon, depending on where the
systems are directed–bathroom, kitchens, bedrooms, throughout the home, spying and
doing their dastardly thing.
Mobil ground units operating in an equivalent way are able to penetrate walls of
buildings doing surveillance and harming Citizens. Much like satellites, ground units
assault using multifrequency energies, lasers, directed by coordinators, causing
damage to joint and nerve tissue of any part of a heat generating body. Seldom, if ever,
individuals who are harmed realize what’s happening to them. Doctors will treat the
inflection as a common ailment. The suffering may go on for years without the
government ever stopping it, in some cases causing death.
Fortunately, the incoming satellite and ground energies can be detected and
identified, by using an effective barrier partitions. It's a trail and error in most cases, a
matter of using barriers, checking to see if the pain continues. The End
