US Sen. McCain: Accountability Is Long Overdue for Iran Regime

Iran continues to step up its efforts to destabilize the Middle East

US Media,17 June 2017-- US Senator John McCain who is the Chairman of the Senate Armed Forces Committee, applauded the adoption of a recent resolution with a 98-2 vote calling for new sanctions on Iran.

The legislation also holds Iran accountable by imposing new sanctions on Iran’s ballistic missile program, applying terrorism sanctions to the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, imposing sanctions on Iranians engaged in human rights abuses, and tightening enforcement of arms embargoes on the Iranian regime.

“As the world’s number one state sponsor of terrorism, Iran continues to step up its efforts to destabilize the Middle East, drive the United States from the region, and undermine our security interests and that of our allies,” said Chairman McCain. “It is long past time the United States and the international community hold Iran accountable.”
