We need more production. We need H.R. 1. We need more domestic production now more than ever because of the situation in the Middle East.

It is essential for us to stand together united in our commitment to cutoff all financing to Iran's war machine.

I firmly believe that this bill is a vital step in stopping a key source of illegal funding to Iran.

This bipartisan legislation will close a loophole in our sanctions policy that allows Iran to move oil through refineries and ports that are not directly sanctioned.

We as the United States possess the power and the moral obligation to shape the global order.

We must ensure that Iran has no money with which to fund extremist groups that destabilize the Middle East and the world.

The SHIP Act specifically mandates that the President impose sanctions on entities that knowingly process illicit Iranian oil.

People need to move away from this idea of saying that the Palestinians are not Hamas and that Hamas are not the Palestinians.

Raping women is not resistance. Taking children hostage is not resistance.

Hamas is not just committed to wiping a country off the earth, they are committed to wiping its people off the earth.

There can be no cease-fire with a terrorist organization while they are holding 200 hostages.

It is a disgusting, antisemitic, anti-Israel double standard.

Not a single dollar of the six billion has moved.

I am working on a bipartisan basis on this piece of legislation.

I nevertheless welcome the commitment of Representative Wilson and many other members on this committee on both sides of the aisle.

We want our sanctions and hostage affairs officials focused on freezing assets and freeing Americans, not necessarily box checking exercises.

I must also note my concern that some of the messages sent in this bill risk undermining our key partners.

I am also deeply concerned by the notion that we would restrict the freedom of movement of the American people.

The stability and the prosperity of our partnership brings to the region convinced Arab nations to take the unprecedented steps of normalizing relations with Israel, a farsighted and courageous decision that is already unleashing pent-up…

There is no moral equivalency here. Israel is the victim. Hamas is the terrorist organization that perpetrated the greatest slaughter of Jews since the Holocaust.

Let's vote for it. It says what I think we all agree, and that is, we must make sure that Iran does not have a nuclear weapon.

I think Mike Pence had it right when in the day after the invasion from Gaza said this is what happens when Republican leaders call for a retreat of the United States on the world stage.

Unfreezing $6 billion in sanctioned funds was moronic.

I hope the Congress and the Administration have learned the lesson that when you are weak and when you chase sanctions relief to the leading State sponsor of terrorism, you invite aggression.

We believe firmly that it is congressional imperative for us to recapture that constitutional authority.
