The Republican-led House overwhelmingly approved bipartisan legislation that will slap new sanctions on Iran for its pursuit of long-range ballistic missiles without derailing the 2015 international nuclear accord that President Donald Trump has threatened to unravel.
Reps Ed Royce and Eliot Engel sponsored the bill, which requires the Trump administration to identify for sanctions the companies and individuals inside and outside of Iran that are the main suppliers of Tehran’s ballistic missile programs. lawmakers voted 423-2. Vote comes after Trump refused to certify that Iran is complying with the accord.
