“For the purpose of closing. Mr. Speaker, I will vote in support of this measure as it is crucial that we continue to pressure the Supreme Leader of Iran and his cronies and enablers, but I look forward to further refining the text with our Senate colleagues to make this the best bill possible. Mr. Speaker, I also note that I join Chairman McCaul and Representative Doggett in acknowledging that it has been nearly 1 year since the tragic death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini. We will always remember her global impact not just for the girls and women of Iran, but for girls and women all over the world. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time. Mr. McCAUL. Mr. Speaker, I thank the Ranking Member Meeks, Congresswoman Madeleine Dean, and Congressman Lloyd Doggett for their work on this bill. I also thank Representative Banks for leading this important bipartisan measure to ensure the United States upholds its moral responsibility as a beacon of freedom in human rights. This bill does not create any new sanctions programs. The tools we are discussing here today already exist. We are simply asking the administration to enforce them. We must do everything we can to stand with the people of Iran and prevent more violence and suffering.…”
