"The Biden administration is so committed to their deal that they are willing to make Iran a nuclear client for Putin, including work that amounts to a $10 billion subsidy for his war machine."
Texas Insider Report: WASHINGTON, D.C. – Last month the President Biden notified Congress his administration was giving Iran and its international partners — including Russia — a waiver for seven civil nuclear activities, which Iran uses to build its nuclear program. Sen. Cruz fought to rescind those waivers and the Trump administration did so in 2019 and 2020.
Yet, this week the Biden administration confirmed that it is moving forward with waivers that will allow Russia to conduct projects with Iran valued at $10 billion.As a result, Sen. Cruz, a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, introduced legislation today to prohibit the Biden administration from waiving Congressional sanctions that prohibit cooperation on Iran’s nuclear program, originally issued under the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action.
The bill is cosponsored by Senators:
- Blackburn (R-TN)
- Braun (R-IN)
- Cassidy (R-LA)
- Cotton (R-AR)
- Cramer (R-ND)
- Ernst (R-IA)
- Hagerty (R-TN)
- Hoeven (R-ND)
- Inhofe (R-OK).
- Rubio (R-FL)
- Rick Scott (R-FL), and
- Tillis (R-NC)
“The Biden administration is dismantling sanctions and is aching to secure a new agreement with the Iranian regime that is even weaker than the original catastrophic Obama-Iran nuclear deal. The Biden administration is so committed to their deal that they are willing to make Iran a nuclear client for Putin, including work that amounts to a $10 billion
subsidy for his war machine."That’s why I’ve introduced legislation to stop the Biden administration from issuing civil-nuclear waivers allowing Russia to build up Iran’s nuclear program. The Ayatollah exploits these civil nuclear waivers to build up Iran’s nuclear program with the express intention of eventually developing nuclear weapons to inflict destruction on America and our allies.
"When he chants ‘Death to Israel’ and ‘Death to America,’ he means it. President Trump rightly ended these waivers, and now the Biden administration is resurrecting them. It’s unconscionable, and Congress must put a stop to it.”
