Press Releases

This week, the House of Representatives passed bills to counter the Administration's disastrous foreign policy actions with Iran. Rep. Loudermilk (R-GA) released the following statement after voting to prohibit cash payments to Iran and inserting Congressional authority over future settlement deals, and to bring financial transparency to the Iranian regime:

 “Iran is an enemy of the United States. Not by our own accord, but by the statements, actions, and policies of Iran’s ruling regime. They are a real and dangerous threat to Americans and our allies; however, this administration has been seemingly deaf to the chants of ‘death to America’ and blind to Iran's aggression towards our military, and has bent over backward to appease and support this radical regime ruling Iran.

 "By releasing finances tied up through sanctions, and the recent ransom payment, the President has provided over $2 billion in funds to Iran, which will undoubtedly be used to strengthen their military and support terrorist organizations.

 "For the safety and security of Americans and our allies, Congress has taken action to constrain the President from providing cash payments to Iran, or making any deals with the regime without explicit Congressional approval, and to expose the personal finances of the regimes' senior and political leaders.”
