Issue Position: Iran

Issue Position

I strongly believe that the current regime in Iran is a profound threat to U.S. national security interests; not only because of their nuclear ambitions, but because of the military assistance they provide armed groups in Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as Hamas and Hezbollah. Iran continues to ignore the international community on the issue of nuclear proliferation and has pledged to build new nuclear facilities.

In an effort to thwart Iran's nuclear ambitions, I have supported international sanctions against the Iranian government. Most recently, I cosponsored and voted in favor of H.R. 2194, the Iran Refined Petroleum Sanctions Act, which will place the most restrictive sanctions on Iran to date.
