Hagerty (R-TN) 11/24/2021: Twitter thread – “Rob Malley, who is not Senate confirmed, leads Biden efforts to revive JCPOA & wants to give the world's biggest state sponsor of terror "total" sanctions relief.

Link to quoted tweetThe US special envoy on Iran Robert Malley thinks that there is only one way to solve the global stand-off with Iran: ending Tehran's exclusion and boosting its economy. https://t.co/cTeXjZy9nX Malley's views are wrong & dangerous. Biden won't commit to submit new or revived Iran deal as treaty. It's time for the #Senate to vote on my Iran Sanctions Relief Review Act for congressional approval of new Iran sanctions relief.

Saudi Arabia
Cornyn (R-TX) 11/24/2021: Twitter thread – “Ironic that Biden administration's response to high energy prices is to encourage Russia and Saudis to pump more oil, and releasing a token amount of oil from the SPR. Link to quoted tweet"The U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve consists of four underground salt caverns along the Texas and Louisiana coasts that currently hold about 605 million barrels of oil. That is enough to satisfy U.S. demand for several weeks." Not a typo. It shows the US needs an "all of the above" energy policy, relying on innovation, not regulation and taxation to reduce emissions + reestablishing our dependency on foreign imports is strategically dumb. We can create jobs & meet demand here in the USA, if the pols with let us.”
