Mr. Chair, the failed strategy of appeasement has not worked. Deterrence is what is needed. President Biden must reverse course on his policy toward Iran to stop terrorism from impacting us here. The system is blinking red. My amendment strengthens this bill. It puts deterrence at the forefront of the global stage. It restricts any money from going to Iran that they would use to foment terrorism and chaos throughout not only the Middle East but also here in our home. Mr. Chair, our Homeland Security depends on this amendment and depends on passage of this bill. I urge all of my colleagues across the aisle here on the Republican side to support this amendment and to pass this bill. Mr. Chair, I yield back the balance of my time. The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Pfluger). The question was taken; and the Acting Chair announced that the ayes appeared to have it.
