Rep. Steve Scalise pushes for new sanctions against Iran, despite White House pleas to give interim agreement a chance

December 6, 2013
"A nuclear-armed Iran is not only a dangerous threat to America's national security, but it would also pose a serious threat to our strongest ally in the Middle East, Israel," Scalise said. "In July, the House overwhelmingly passed legislation to increase sanctions on Iran. Considering President Obama's naive and dangerous decision to ease sanctions on Iran, it is imperative that the Senate quickly bring the House's bipartisan sanctions bill to the floor for consideration."
