The American people and Israel, our closest ally in the Middle East, deserve transparency and answers. “We should be signaling strength - not leniency - when it comes to Iran. That’s why now is the time to pass my Solidify Iran Sanctions Act and send the message that Iran should not expect U.S. sanctions to lapse. “The unprecedented attack on Israel by Hamas - a U.S. designated terrorist organization - warrants the strongest response encompassing both military assistance and the most stringent economic sanctions. I look forward to thoroughly examining additional areas where we can hold these Iranian backed terrorist organizations accountable.” BACKGROUND Ranking Member Scott's calls for rigorous congressional oversight mark a continuation of his commitment to applying pressure on the Iranian regime and holding the Biden administration accountable. On August 18, Ranking Member Scott demanded answers from the Biden administration after it announced the release of $6 billion to Iran. In the letter, the Ranking Member and his colleagues warned that the funds would “enable the Iranian regime to increase its destabilizing activities” and would “serve to encourage additional hostage taking for financial or political gain.” Earlier this year, Ranking Member Scott introduced the Solidify Iran Sanctions Act to cement the Iran Sanctions Act. The Iran Sanctions Act imposes sanctions that restrict funding for Iran’s energy sector, curtailing the regime’s ability to finance terrorism and develop its nuclear program. Ranking Member Scott’s bill removes the expiration date of these sanctions and makes them permanent - demonstrating America’s unwavering commitment to forcefully answering Iran’s destabilizing actions. In addition to serving as the Ranking Member of the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs, Senator Scott serves as a senior member of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, which has jurisdiction over the State Department. ### Small Logo OFFICE INFORMATION 534 Dirksen Senate Office Building Washington, D.C. 20510 [phone]
