Congressman Daniel Webster is praising President Trump’s decision to reimpose sanctions aimed at squeezing off Iran’s oil revenue.
The Trump administration has warned that next week it will reimpose all sanctions on Iran that had been lifted by the Obama administration after the 2015 nuclear agreement.
Like Trump, Webster is calling that deal “terrible.”
The Republican, who represents The Villages in the U.S. House of Representatives, said he believes the sanctions will have an impact on Iran.
“These sanctions target the Central Bank of Iran and other key financial institutions. This will cut off Iran’s access to funds they use to bankroll terrorist groups, support nuclear and ballistic missile programs, and enrich their leaders. The sanctions also target key Iranian-related individuals who have known ties to Iran’s terrorism support, weapons program, engage in human rights abuses and other criminal activities,” Webster said.
