On the recordNovember 28, 2018
As an opponent of the failed Iran deal, I am grateful that President Donald Trump and his administration remain focused on combating the dangerous conduct of Iran. Iran's aggression has only increased with the windfall of newly accessible funds from the Iran deal. They have used the funding to upgrade missile technology, force terrorism worldwide, and fuel conflict around the Middle East. Last week, Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin announced that Iran had developed an Iran-Russia network to send oil to Syria. This oil is then used to fund murderous terrorist organizations like Hezbollah and Hamas. Sigal Mandelker, the Under Secretary of the Treasury for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence, explained: ``The Iranian regime continues to prioritize spending money on fomenting terror over supporting its own people.'' President Trump has made the correct decision to impose sanctions on individuals related to this scheme, as he continues to fulfill ``promises made, promises kept.'' In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget September the 11th in the global war on terrorism. ____________________
