I hope my Republican colleagues will figure out a way to bring the House back to regular order as quickly as possible.

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.

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.

I'm proud to be working on this issue, which I can work with people like Earl Blumenauer, Ranking, or Chairman Jason Smith, Sherrod Brown, Marco Rubio, et cetera.

The bill before us is not just a message to Iran but to the entire world that we are unwavering in our resolve.

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.

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

Each day that passes without a Speaker brings us 1 day closer to the deadline to fund the Government, which is now less than a month away.

The resolution States that Iran must not be able to obtain a nuclear weapon under any circumstances, and the United States must use all means necessary to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon.

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.

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

I hope that we continue to embrace the very important and critical role of diplomacy, the importance of maintaining guardrails for this democracy.
