Rep. Loudermilk (R-GA) and republican colleagues passed legislation today that extends sanctions on Iran for another ten years. He issued the following statement:
“We need to get one thing straight – Iran is not our friend. While they chant ‘death to America,’ this administration yields to their every demand. Any country funding terrorism should be regarded as our enemy and should be heavily sanctioned. We’re committed to restricting American investment in Iran, including all aspects of trade and other business transactions. The world’s leading and most active state sponsor of terror will be held accountable for their actions and will not be rewarded.”
Background
The Iran Sanctions Extension Act, H.R.6297, is a 10-year extension of the Iran Sanctions Act, which allows the U.S. to sanction Iran’s trade business, banking industry, defense, nuclear programs, and more.
