We must hold Iran accountable for backing terrorism. Here’s how

Iran is a sponsor of violence throughout the Mideast. It backs terrorist Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthis and puts US lives at risk. We must stand up to Iran and hold them accountable.

In addition to the use of force, we can also target and restrain the Iranian regime through robust sanctions enforcement. This requires that we do more to enforce sanctions that deprive Iran of the billions of dollars in oil revenue, revenue that they use to fund their terrorist network.  

Iran’s dangerous reach extends throughout the Middle East. Its proxy, Hezbollah, looms large on Israel’s northern border, while Iranian-supported militias in Syria and Iraq have launched more than 170 attacks on U.S. military forces and our allies during the past few months.
