U.S. Senator Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.) today voted in favor of a 10-year extension of the Iran Sanctions Act, which is set to expire on December 31st. The legislation, which passed the House last month by an overwhelming majority, today passed the Senate on a 99-0 vote and now heads to the presidents desk. Iran continues to be a serious threat to the security of the United States and our allies, said Senator Capito. These sanctions are an essential tool to prevent nuclear proliferation by the worlds largest state sponsor of terror, and it is critical that we keep them in place in order to protect the American people. I urge the president to swiftly sign this bill into law. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
