Scott Leads Colleagues in Bill to Freeze $6 Billion to Iran, Probe Additional Iranian Assets

Press Release

"We cannot allow Iran to continue enriching themselves and then using that money to fund Hamas, Hezbollah, and other terrorists who wish to inflict barbaric brutality on innocent civilians -- including American citizens. As we've seen in its response to the terrorist attacks in Israel, the regime in Tehran does not care how many men are killed, how many women are raped, and how many children are kidnapped. We need to immediately cut off all possible sources of funding going to Iran and impose bone-crushing international sanctions to ensure maximum consequences. This will send a loud, needed message to the world -- if you do business with the Iranian regime, the United States will view you as complicit in these atrocities, and we will treat you accordingly."
