AIPAC applauds the House of Representatives for passing the bipartisan Enhanced Iran Sanctions Act (H.R. 1422) with broad support.

As American servicemembers courageously operate alongside our ally Israel to confront the Iranian regime, Congress is making clear that we must toughen our economic tools against Iran and China’s purchases of Iranian oil.

We thank Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY) and Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick (D-FL) for leading this bipartisan effort and the 296 House members who cosponsored the legislation. The House passing this bill reflects overwhelming bipartisan resolve to cut off the financial lifelines that fuel Iran’s aggression against American servicemembers, our allies, and U.S. interests.

We urge the Senate to take up and pass this legislation as quickly as possible to ensure the United States maintains every available economic tool to counter the Iranian regime.
