Cotton: Collapse of Iran Sanctions Undermines Biden Visit to Israel

Washington, D.C. — Senator Tom Cotton (R-Arkansas) released the following statement after sanctions on Iran’s missile program expired. The sanctions were imposed in 2015 and were designed to limit Iran’s ability to buy and sell ballistic missiles and missile technology:

“President Biden’s visit to Israel today coincides with the expiration of multilateral sanctions on Iran’s missile program under the failed Iran nuclear deal. This dangerous mistake, along with continued concessions like paying the $6 billion hostage ransom, emboldens Iran at the expense of American and Israeli security. Actions speak louder than words.”
