Scott Leads Colleagues in Bill to Freeze $6 Billion to Iran, Probe Additional Iranian Assets
Press Release
Issues: Finance and Banking Foreign Affairs
"Money is fungible and guarantees that unfrozen assets cannot be used to fuel Iran's global support for terrorist warfare against Americans and other innocent civilians simply do not exist. The United States must not release the $6 billion in Iranian assets. While the announcement of an understanding with Qatar to freeze the funds is a positive step, more must be done. Our legislation would codify in law what the Administration cannot guarantee--that Iran will not see a single dollar from the United States to use for funding terrorism across the globe."
