For too long, Iran’s regime of terror reigned over the Middle East and targeted American interests with no fear of repercussions from the United States. They even orchestrated the October 7, 2023, terror attack on our ally, Israel, with little to no concern of consequences.
That ends now.
Under President Trump, Iran’s direct assault on global security and American leadership will no longer go unanswered. We must apply maximum pressure on the Iranian regime to defend our interests and protect American lives.
That’s why I just introduced legislation to impose the toughest sanctions ever on Iran, preventing their ability to fund, orchestrate, and celebrate terror across our globe. The Maximum Pressure Act would hold Iran accountable for their role in the October 7 terror attack in Israel and enforce strong sanctions so they can’t finance their reign of terror any longer.
Bottom Line: Iran is a threat to our national security, our values, and our way of life. We cannot afford to let their aggression go unchecked. I’m committed to ensuring the U.S. holds Iran accountable and prevents future terror attacks.
