BREAKING: Slaughter Proposes New Protections for the Security of Israel as State Department Imposes New Sanctions on Iran
WASHINGTON - Just hours after Congresswoman Louise Slaughter (NY-28) introduced legislation to prohibit the export of strategic and critical American minerals to Iran, the US State Department announced additional sanctions onIran's nuclear and ballistic missile proliferation networks. Slaughter had introduced her legislation to ensure that Iran would be stopped from accessing strategically valuable American minerals that are extracted from American land.
"In an age when Iran is threatening the security of our ally Israel, and the stability of the Middle East, this Congress must ensure that not a single American resource goes to supporting the dangerous Iranian regime. My amendment would leave no doubt that the United States stands by our allies and that not an ounce of American minerals ends up in Iranian hands."
