Chairman McCaul Presses Biden-Harris Administration on Need for Robust Implementation of the Security Supplemental
Sydney, Australia – House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Michael McCaul issued the following statement expressing frustration towards the Biden-Harris administration’s failure to implement sanctions passed by Congress against an increasingly aggressive Iran.
“While I’m glad the Biden-Harris administration issued formal notification for several arms sales cases to our ally Israel, it took 80 days for them to stop dragging their feet. Shockingly, that is not their only delay in providing security in the region.
“In April, Congress passed the bipartisan national security supplemental spending package to ensure our key ally, Israel, had the essential support to defend itself against vicious attacks from Iran and its terrorist proxies that threaten its very existence. It is now August, and the Biden-Harris administration is still blowing past deadlines to implement various sanctions against Iran provided for in my 21st Century Peace Through Strength Act.
“The only way to deter Iran and its proxies is through a clear display of strength and resolve. This administration’s needless, politically motivated, delays and misleading statements regarding support for Israel’s security must end.”
