Vicky Hartzler (R-Mo.), House Armed Services Oversight and Investigations Subcommittee Chairwoman, on Tuesday voted to extend the Iran Sanctions Act, giving Congress the tools it needs to check a rogue Iranian regime from pursuing malicious activities.\n\t\t\t\t\u201cBefore President Obama\u2019s flawed nuclear deal with Iran, strong sanctions kept the world\u2019s largest state sponsor of terrorism at bay from even more destructive behavior,\u201d said Rep. Hartzler.\n\t\t\t\tFirst passed 20 years ago, the Iran Sanctions Act supports sanctions on Iran\u2019s illicit weapons programs and ballistic missile development that were not suspended as part of the nuclear deal. The act, and the sanctions allowed under it, are set to expire at the end of this year. The bill passed in the House of Representatives on Tuesday would extend the law for another 10 years.\n\t\t\t\t\u201cAfter the President\u2019s bad nuclear deal lifted so many sanctions and gave the regime billions in relief, we cannot fail to pass this bill,\u201d Hartzler continued.\n\t\t\t\tIran continues to buy destabilizing weapons systems from Russia and funnels weapons and assistance to its terrorist proxies to prop up the murderous Assad regime and threaten Israel.\n\t\t\t\t\u201cPassing this bill sends a message to the world that we are not going to stand for Iran\u2019s continued destructive role in the Middle East, and it mitigates some of the damage done by the President\u2019s dangerous nuclear deal,\u201d Hartzler added.\n\t\t\t\tThe bill now goes to the Senate, where Hartzler said she is hopeful for quick consideration and passage. If the Senate passes the bill, it would then go to the President\u2019s desk.\n\t\t\t\tRep. Hartzler represents Missouri\u2019s Fourth Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives.", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://hartzler.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/hartzler-votes-keep-iran-check"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 2.1418179385364056, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
