Following the deadly drone attack in Jordan, Joe Biden is facing pressure to impose new economic sanctions on Iran and take military action. Bipartisan calls from senators and resolutions urge the Biden administration to strengthen enforcement of existing sanctions and act against Iran's illicit oil trade, citing Iran's continued aggression and destabilization of the Middle East. Some senators criticize Biden's policy of appeasement towards Iran and emphasize the need to hold Iran accountable for empowering proxy attacks on troops through illicit oil trading.
This week, I joined a resolution with my Senate colleagues calling on President Biden to strengthen enforcement of sanctions against Iran. Illicit oil trading is empowering Iranian proxy attacks on our troops, and we must hold them accountable.
