Washington, D.C. – Today Senator Tom Cotton (R-Arkansas) released the following statement on the State Department’s announcement that it will no longer grant sanctions waivers for the purchase of Iranian oil:
“The world pays a steep price for Iranian oil, which funds Iran’s military aggression and terrorist proxies. Pressure on the Iranian regime was a necessary decision and I commend the leadership of Secretary Pompeo in the efforts to shift oil reliance from Iran.”
