Press Release

Location: Washington, D.C.

"Providing a $6 billion credit to Iran, the world leader in state sponsored terrorism, only emboldens our adversaries and weakens the standing of the United States and our allies. As Hamas continues their attacks of terror on Israel, supported by Iran, this funding must be unequivocally frozen and general licenses must be rescinded. We must use every tool available to prevent illicit financing of terrorist activities, and I'm proud to introduce this legislation with my colleagues to block Iran from receiving these assets that would further endanger the lives of Americans and our allies."
