The legislation passed the Senate by a vote of 99-0.\r\n\u201cThis bill makes it clear that Iran\u2019s aggression toward the U.S. and our allies and its attempts to destabilize the Middle East will not be tolerated,\u201d said Roberts. \u201cSince the president\u2019s flawed nuclear deal has not held Iran accountable, this bill ensures the Iranian regime will be denied the resources to develop a nuclear weapon and support terrorist activities should they be in violation of this agreement. And next year, I look forward to working on a repeal the president\u2019s disastrous Iran deal.\u201d\r\nThe Iran Sanctions Extension Act will extend the ability for the U.S. to impose sanctions against Iran through the year 2026 if Iran is found to be in violation of last year\u2019s nuclear agreement. The legislation would block the Iranian regime from obtaining resources to support terrorism and develop weapons of mass destruction. The legislation passed in the House 419-1 and heads to the president\u2019s desk for signature.", 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://www.roberts.senate.gov/public/index.cfm?p=PressReleases&ContentRecord_id=DDD262E7-CDEF-4B64-9E92-125D8487264C"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.9424281306564808, "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"}
