Statement

Date: Jan. 8, 2020
Location: Washington D.C.
Issues: Foreign Affairs

Congressman Steve Womack (AR-3) released the below statement following President Trump's remarks on Iran and recent provocations from this state sponsor of terrorism:

"President Trump has put this issue back in the hands of Iran: embrace peace or realize the consequences of being a rogue regime. While past administrations have shied away from confronting threats, the President has used a strategy of maximum pressure to address destabilizing behavior. Bad actors will be held accountable, and hostility will be met with measured action. By reasserting deterrence and eliminating the resources this state sponsor of terrorism relies on, we will deter aggression and create a more stable global community. I support additional sanctions and continued efforts to counter all Iranian threats."
