But Malley, who has been the administration&#8217;s public face of diplomacy with Tehran, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/usenvoyiran\/status\/1583981630175469569?s=46&#038;t=H8K4qjwGuBj7pkxZzSHDDA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">claimed<\/a> the protesters are merely demonstrating &#8220;for their government to respect their dignity and human rights&#8221;\u2014even in the face of mounting evidence they are protesting to end the oppressive regime.<\/p>\n<p>The Biden administration is still waiving economic sanctions on the Iranian regime as it seeks to revive the 2015 nuclear deal, though the prospects of reaching an agreement grow increasingly slender. These efforts have also forced the administration to walk a diplomatic tightrope as it offers tepid support to protesters to avoid isolating the hardline government from negotiations. Following Malley&#8217;s online gaffe, the State Department declined to answer <em>Washington Free Beacon<\/em> questions about whether it assesses that Iranian protesters are seeking regime change, even as those protesters\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.jpost.com\/middle-east\/iran-news\/article-718780\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">chant<\/a>\u00a0&#8220;Death to the Dictator&#8221; and make clear they want the theocratic government dismantled.<\/p>\n<p>Sen. Ted Cruz (R., Texas), a leading congressional critic of a new Iran deal, told the <em>Free Beacon<\/em>\u00a0that the &#8220;Biden administration is literally invested in the survival of the Iranian regime because the administration wants Iranian oil to make up for the catastrophe they&#8217;ve created by attacking American energy producers. That&#8217;s why they can&#8217;t bring themselves to support the calls by the people of Iran for regime change.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Robert Malley will go down in the history books as the most ineffective and feckless State Department official of the last 50 years.
