Mann Blocks Funding for Iran's Terror Regime | 2023-12-01 | 2023 | 2023-12 | Republican | House | KS | Tracey Mann | M000871 | mann.house.gov | mann | https://mann.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | WASHINGTON, D.C. – Yesterday, U.S. Representative Tracey Mann (KS-01) voted yes on H.R. 5961, the No Funds for Iranian Terrorism Act, which would permanently freeze the $6 billion that the Biden Administration released to the Iranian regime in September 2023. “Iran is the world’s largest state sponsor of terrorism, and Congress must strip its regime of resources and block its funding streams,” said Rep. Mann. “Iran’s regime deploys its funding to purchase missiles, ramp up nuclear capabilities, sponsor terrorism, commit human rights violations, and destabilize the security of America and our democratic allies like Israel. By freezing these liquid assets, this legislation will prevent billions of dollars from funding terror.” H.R. 5961, the No Funds for Iranian Terrorism Act, which passed in the U.S. House of Representatives last night by a vote of 307-119, would freeze the $6 billion in Iranian assets covered under the recent hostage deal that President Biden struck between the United States and Iran. Earlier this week, Rep. Mann also voted yes on legislation he cosponsors, H. Res. 793, Calling on Hamas to immediately release hostages taken during October 2023 attack on Israel, which passed in the U.S. House of Representatives by a vote of 414-0, and H. Res. 888, Reaffirming the State of Israel’s right to exist, which passed in the U.S. House of Representatives by a vote of 412-1. “I am praying for an end to the conflict in Israel, for all hostages to be returned home safely, and for a restoration of peace,” said Rep. Mann. Rep. Mann is a member of the Abraham Accords Caucus, the Israel Allies Caucus, and the Transatlantic Friends of Israel Caucus. Click here to view Rep.
