The House will vote Tuesday on whether to impose more sanctions on Iran and its leaders — a move Rep. Cory Mills says is aimed at discouraging the country from committing further"heinous acts."
"It's really more about those who believe in human rights and is trying to find ways to not only prevent but potentially discourage those types of heinous acts from continuing to occur," Mills said of the bill. "This really does strengthen [the bill] and I think that's the key element of this, and it also pays the honor and respect to the young woman who was, you know, wrongfully and heinously murdered in her own country," Mills said. He said he feels"confident" that the bill will pass Tuesday.
The United Nations has its own set of restrictions and bans on Iran's missile program, which expire in October. However, Mills said that, on many occasions, he has seen the U.N. Security Council do"relatively nothing" in cases of violations or Iranian efforts to transport missiles. The U.S. withdrew from the deal under former President Donald Trump in 2018, so it could not take action using that avenue. The U.N.'s negotiation to restore the Iran nuclear deal stalled in July after Iran transferred unmanned aerial vehicles to Russia for its war against Ukraine.
