Ernst Ensures Tax Dollars Aren’t Arming Iran

Press Release

“No matter how those grants are distributed, as Iran builds up their nuclear arsenal, we must be absolutely certain that taxpayer dollars are not funding a researcher working for a university linked to Iran’s nuclear program. We just witnessed Iran attack our ally Israel and their proxies have taken American servicemembers’ lives…[Their] capabilities cannot even be remotely strengthened by American taxpayer dollars.

We have seen other Departments that have – through contracts and subcontracts – sent dollars overseas to other entities. All we have to do is look at COVID-19 to see how American taxpayer dollars were funneled to China for research.”
