Scott Leads Colleagues in Bill to Freeze $6 Billion to Iran, Probe Additional Iranian Assets
Press Release
Issues: Finance and Banking Foreign Affairs
"For far too long, this administration has made our nation look weak on the world stage. Releasing any of the $6 billion to Iran as part of a U.S.-Iranian prisoner swap is not only naïve but dangerous. The Biden administration is freeing up funds within the Iranian government that they can then use to sponsor terrorism. This legislation will increase transparency and prevent these funds from falling into the Iranian regime's hands. If this administration is unable to properly represent and protect the U.S.'s global interests, Congress will have to do it for them."
