The Administration has designated no individuals or entities for human rights abuses since the nuclear deal was reached.

This notion that somehow there is... moderates who we should economically seduce.

Thank you for this opportunity to present our views, and we would be pleased to respond to any questions that Members of the Committee may have.

Congress should reject this nuclear blackmail and hold the Administration accountable for its commitments.

I share the view of Senator Menendez that in response to these really outrageous and aggressive behaviors, we have every right--in fact, responsibility, really, to impose the kind of sanctions that might dissuade these behaviors.

the U.S. Government and U.S. Congress is not going to be shy about using all instruments, of course, of powering, including sanctions, to stop that activity

That is what it looks like to me, and that strikes me as a bad idea.

I remain strongly opposed to this deal that turns over something on the order of $100 billion to the world's leading State sponsor of terrorism.

Sanctions against Iran's many malign activities are not JCPOA violations, as Iran claims, but, rather, an affirmation of U.S. policy.

the JCPOA does not preclude non-nuclear sanctions

It appears implicitly to be virtually condoning the behavior.

I would note Iran is in flagrant violation of 2231, which is the implementation resolution of the JCPOA.
