Royce on Fox News: We’ve got to Confront the Full Range of Iranian Threats
Today on Fox News Channel’s “Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo,” Chairman Royce talked about the need to strengthen and enforce the flawed Iran nuclear deal as part of a broader strategy to confront the full range of Iranian threats. To that end, Chairman Royce also highlighted bipartisan bills targeting Iran’s ballistic missiles and support for terrorism that the full House will consider after the district work period. Video and key excerpts are below.
“Iran is moving forward with an intercontinental ballistic missile system. And ‘intercontinental’ means ‘from there, to here’…
“We know also that Iran is moving their Quds Forces and their IRGC – that’s the Iranian Revolutionary Guard – into Syria up against the border with Israel…
“So, there’s two parts to this. The first is what do we do about their ballistic missile system. And that’s answered by the legislation that I passed out of the Foreign Affairs Committee in the House this last week. That will go to the House floor for passage into the Senate and it ha[s] broad, bipartisan support… Second… we also passed legislation having to do with sanctioning Hezbollah… that will allow us to cut off the financing and begin the support network to curtail Iran’s proxy.”
