Issa Applauds New Iran Sanctions

Statement

Date: Feb. 3, 2017
Location: Washington, DC
Issues: Foreign Affairs

Congressman Darrell Issa (R-Calif) a senior member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, released the following statement in response to the newly issued sanctions on Iran:

"The fact that the Obama Administration's deal with Iran permitted these flagrant missile tests only further demonstrates exactly why the deal was flawed from the get-go. The agreement emboldened Iran to continue its aggressive posturing, which represents a direct threat to the United States and its regional allies, which cannot be tolerated.

These tests are a brazen violation of UN Security Council resolutions and should be brought to an end. The quick response from our new administration makes clear that the United States is serious about holding Iran accountable for their growing aggression and continued support for terrorism around the world."
