ICYMI – Rep. Issa Proposes Maximum Sanctions on Iran

Congressman Issa (CA-48) has introduced the No Funds for Iran-Backed Terror Act, the most comprehensive legislation in Congress to fundamentally alter the direction of U.S. policy toward Iran and finally enforce America’s laws – which the Biden Administration has refused to do.

The bill was highlighted in a report from Fox News detailing how the Biden policies of appeasement and failures to enforce existing sanctions have reportedly enriched Iran – the principal supporter of Hamas – by as much as $50 billion in one year alone.

An excerpt:

Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., said that the Biden administration, over the past year, has waived sanctions on Iran which facilitated roughly $50 billion to the country.

The administration, he said, "has systematically underenforced oil sanctions, freed Iranian funds in Iraq, which are now in Oman," and notoriously waived sanctions on Sept. 11, to release $6 billion in humanitarian funds as part of a prisoner swap – a move that was heavily scrutinized following the Hamas attacks.

Issa said his new bill, the No Funds for Iran-Backed Terror Act, will "fundamentally alter the direction of U.S. policy toward Iran and finally enforce America’s laws."
