Next stop → The president's desk. pic.twitter.com/ucSF9k4Mvm— Paul Ryan (@SpeakerRyan) December 2, 2016 WASHINGTON—House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) issued the following statement after signing H.R. 6297, the Iran Sanctions Extension Act: “I am pleased that despite initial hesitation, the White House has heeded our call and indicated that it will sign this bipartisan legislation. As Tehran continues to sponsor terrorism, test-fire ballistic missiles, and violate the nuclear agreement, Congress must maintain the ability to immediately reinstate sanctions against Iran. Now President-elect Trump will have the opportunity to evaluate our policy towards Iran independent of additional interference from the outgoing administration.” NOTE: The House passed H.R. 6297, authored by House Foreign Affairs Comittee Chairman Ed Royce (R-CA), by a vote of 419-1. The Senate passed identical legislation by a vote of 99-0. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
