Congress Renews U.S. Sanctions Law on Iran
(VOA News) Michael Bowman - The sanctions renewal bill passed in the House of Representatives by 419-1 last month. Iranian officials blasted the bill, arguing it violates the nuclear pact and will have consequences. "They're bluffing," said Middle East expert Matthew McInnis at the American Enterprise Institute. "The Iranians are quite committed to the deal. They understood that these types of legislation such as the Iran Sanctions Act, which have been in effect for a long time, these types of things would likely be renewed."
