In the past 3 years, Iran's illicit oil trade has generated over $80 billion in revenue, leading to bipartisan support for sanctions. Senator Roger Wicker advocates for direct strikes on Iranian targets. The SHIP Act, passing 342-69, imposes new sanctions on Iranian petroleum, supported by Rep. Moskowitz and Rep. Lawler. They have also urged President Biden to combat Iran's illicit oil trade, which has funded a shadow war in the Middle East. Rep. Lawler emphasizes the need for severe action against Iran, starting with legislation to curb their illicit oil trade and funding of terrorism.
It’s time for serious and severe action against Iran, starting with my legislation with @RepMoskowitz to crack down on Iran’s illicit oil trade that is funding terrorism and killing Americans. https://t.co/yCsm7s7W94
.@RepMoskowitz and I just led a bipartisan letter with 60 of our colleagues to President Biden urging action to combat Iran's illicit oil trade. Iran has taken in $88 billion since February of 2021, helping fund their shadow war in the Middle East. https://t.co/mrbsslJ52p
The SHIP Act I introduced with @RepMikeLawler passed 342-69. These new sanctions on Iranian petroleum have broad bipartisan support. In light of new attacks on U.S. troops by Iran’s proxies, it’s critical that this is part of a whole of government approach against the regime. https://t.co/UBlEaH1P48
"'We must respond to these repeated attacks by Iran and its proxies by striking directly against Iranian targets and its leadership,' said Sen. Roger Wicker (R., Miss.), the top Republican on the Senate Armed Services Committee." https://t.co/Ujq26cR73g
In the past 3 years alone, Iran’s “ghost armada” of illicit oil tankers has exported more than $80 billion of sanctioned oil. I’m leading the charge in Congress to cut off all funding for Iran and hold their enablers responsible! https://t.co/ph4MeXbGPx
