We are deeply concerned by the passage of an amendment to existing anti-prostitution and homosexuality legislation in Iraq. This amendment threatens those most at risk in Iraqi society and weakens Iraq’s ability to diversify its economy and attract foreign investment.

We strongly condemn the death sentence for Iranian rapper Toomaj Salehi.  His voice amplifies the aspirations of the Iranian people and all those silenced by the regime.  We call for his immediate release.   #SaveToomaj .

Great to discuss the U.S.-Oman bilateral relationship with Khalifa Alharthy today. We are eager to build on priorities outlined in the U.S.-Oman Strategic dialogue. The future holds many new areas of partnership, benefiting the people of Oman and the United States.

Recent reports of directives by Israeli officials on measures to support outposts in the West Bank are dangerous and reckless. We urge officials to refrain from taking actions to fund outposts that have long been illegal even under Israeli law.
