What Lawmakers Can Still Do to Push Back on Iran Deal
Genevieve Wood /
Some may think Congress has given up on taking further action against the Iran deal, but in a video interview with The Daily Signal, Rep. Ron DeSantis, R-Fla., says it’s not time for lawmakers to give up.
Since the deal was officially recognized by President Barack Obama, Iran’s behavior has remained antagonistic, including the seizure of American sailors just weeks ago in the Persian Gulf. DeSantis, a member of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs, believes that may cause some original supporters to rethink their position.
While it will take a new president in 2017 to fully revoke the deal, DeSantis tells us there are things Congress can and should do now, such as allowing individual states to enact their own sanctions against Iran.
