This bipartisan legislation extends the Iran Sanctions Act for 10 years until 2026, and supports sanctions on Iran\u2019s illicit weapons programs and ballistic missile development that were not suspended as part of the nuclear deal.\n\u201cIran is the world\u2019s largest state sponsor of terrorism and we must work to hold this dangerous regime accountable,\u201d said Congresswoman Stefanik. \u201cThese sanctions are an important tool for countering Iran\u2019s hostile activity in the region. It\u2019s imperative that Congress reauthorizes these sanctions so that the next Administration can control this rogue regime and prevent a nuclear Iran.\u201d\nBackground:\u00a0Since it was first passed twenty years ago, the Iran Sanctions Act has been at the center of the U.S. response to the threat posed by the Iranian rogue regime. Despite the Obama Administration\u2019s dangerous nuclear deal, ISA remains critical to U.S. efforts to counter the full range of Iran\u2019s malicious activity. The Iran Sanctions Act will expire at the end of the year if Congress does not pass an extension.\nThis Bill:\n Provides clear statutory authority to re-impose or \u201csnap-back\u201d many of the most powerful sanctions on Iran\u2019s energy industry if the rogue regime rushes toward a nuclear weapon.\n\tGives Congress - not the Executive Branch - final say on when Iran gets permanent sanctions relief.\n\tExtends the Iran Sanctions Act for 10 years.\n ###", 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://stefanik.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/stefanik-votes-support-iran-sanctions-extension-act"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.707382034510374, "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"}
