Israel - Palestine

Deutch (D-FL-22) 09/01/2022: Twitter thread – “As the US continues to confront Russia's illegal and unjust invasion of Ukraine AND consider a potential return to an Iran nuclear deal, we must examine how Russia and Iran cooperate to undermine the international rules-based order and advance their own malicious agendas. Russia & Iran have long cooperated on issues of common interest. In July, Putin visited Iran, & the 2 countries vowed to strengthen and expand their nefarious relationship, incl. by leveraging Iran's sanctions evasion techniques to assist Russia's economy. Link to quoted tweetPutin visits Iran for first trip outside former U.S.S.R. since Ukraine war (Putin visits Iran for first trip outside former U.S.S.R. since Ukraine war... | reut.rs) (Link to twitter.com) Cooperation w/Iran has also paid serious dividends for Russia's war in Ukraine. Russia has reportedly received its first drones from Iran. Iranian UAV's have targeted US forces and partners across the Mid East & may prove to be devastating in Ukraine. Link to quoted tweetThe first shipment of what US officials assess will be hundreds of Iranian unmanned aerial vehicles has arrived in Russia, according to a Pentagon spokesperson. (First of ‘hundreds' of Iranian drones arrives in Russia... | bit.ly) Russia also recently launched an advanced Iranian spy satellite into orbit, which will enhance Iran's surveillance capabilities & its ability to spread violence & terror across the Mid East. It's reportedly 1st being used to bolster Putin's war in Ukraine. Link to quoted tweetRussia successfully launches Iranian spy satellite as concerns over Ukraine war loom (Russia successfully launches Iranian spy satellite as concerns over Ukraine war loom... | timesofisrael.com) Under the original JCPOA, Russian state-owned companies were allowed to receive significant financial benefits from cooperation on civil nuclear projects in Iran. Moreover, Iran shipped 25,000 pounds of low-enriched uranium to Russia in order to comply with the JCPOA in 2015. The US recently said it wouldn't sanction Russian participation in these projects & would again consider Russia accepting Iran's excess enriched uranium under a revived JCPOA. These discussions are happening as Russian shelling threatens Europe's largest nuclear plant in Ukraine. Finally, we must consider how a revived JCPOA can undermine our sanctions against Russia by giving Russia the opportunity to sell its oil through Iran. It's essential that our policy towards Russia and Iran are coordinated & aligned to advance US interests.Link to quoted tweetVladimir Putin has a perfectly timed Plan B to get sanctioned Russian oil out to global markets: Iran. (Russia eyes Iran as sanctions-busting backdoor for oil sales... | bit.ly) Russia-Iran cooperation is evolving to encompass a larger and even more dangerous set of issues. As we continue to stand strongly with Ukraine, the JCPOA simply cannot be viewed independent of its likely benefits to Russia and Russia's ongoing war against Ukraine.”

Sherrill (D-NJ-11) 09/02/2022: Twitter thread – “As the largest state-sponsor of terror, and a continuing threat to the stability of the entire region, preventing a nuclear Iran is of the utmost importance for our national security, and the security of Israel, our key ally and partner in the region. 1/8 Although the original JCPOA was far from perfect, Iran's nuclear progress since the Trump Administration's withdrawal has been disturbing. 2/8 It's clear that the US must continue to work with our allies & partners to ensure that the regime in Tehran never gets its hands on a nuclear weapon. 3/8 As I've monitored the process in Vienna, certain reports on proposals in the negotiations have been concerning. 4/8 I am glad to hear that the Biden Administration has stood firm regarding the IRGC's presence on the list of foreign terrorist organizations, and that we are once again engaging with our partners to keep the region free of an Iranian nuclear threat. 5/8 However, we must hold Iran accountable for the harm they continue to cause and ensure we don't provide them with tools to continue their malicious acts across the world. 6/8 It's important not to lose sight that Iran's nuclear threat is not the only area of concern. Iran must be held accountable for its role as the largest state sponsor of terrorism & malign activities in the region – particularly given the current political instability in Iraq. 7/8 As the negotiations move forward, it is critical that Congress be kept fully apprised, which is why I've requested a full briefing from the White House. I look forward to continuing to work to protect our country and our allies by ensuring Iran never obtains a nuclear weapon. 8/8”

Van Hollen (D-MD) 09/01/2022: Tweet – “The Nat. Press Club just posthumously honored Shireen Abu Akleh w/ @PressClubDC President's Award for her lifetime of respected reporting.

Syria

Hill (R-AR-2) 09/01/2022: Twitter thread – “Under Bashar-al-Assad, Syria has become a narco-state - using the production and trafficking of drugs, like Captagon, to fund his crimes against humanity. The latest seizure from authorities in Saudi Arabia should come as no surprise. Saudi Arabia seizes record 46 million amphetamine pills hidden in flour... | bbc.com This past December, I introduced the CAPTAGON Act. This bill would require the federal government to develop an interagency strategy to disrupt and dismantle the narcotic production, trafficking, and affiliated networks in Syria. I will continue to work across the aisle to ensure Congress does not forget about the people in Syria, and across the globe, who continue to fall victim to the Assad regime's narcotic-driven trafficking state of Syria.”

Gottheimer (D-NJ-5) 09/01/2022: Twitter thread – “Today, I led a bipartisan group of 50 Members (34 Democrats & 16 Republicans) expressing our deep concerns to @POTUS about a potential agreement with Iran, the world's leading state sponsor of terrorism, and urging the Administration not to act before consulting with Congress. Link to image We must not reduce terrorism-related sanctions on the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps or allow Russia to have a role in Iran's nuclear capabilities. We need to address the threat of a nuclear-armed Iran, stand strong against terrorists, and protect American values and allies.”

Hagerty (R-TN) 09/01/2022: Twitter thread – “President Joe Biden and Democrats have had full control of the government since January 2021, and they have done a disastrous job on every front. ⬇️ Their out-of-control spending has unleashed forty-year-record inflation. Their nonsensical war on American energy has taken us from energy independence & gas prices below $2.50 to energy dependence and record-high gas prices. They have completely abandoned law enforcement at our southern border, unleashing record illegal immigration that is fueling record drug overdose deaths in the United States, human trafficking, & economic and public-safety disruptions in American communities. Their foreign policy has been an utter embarrassment and made us less safe, from the worst American foreign policy failure in generations in Afghanistan to attempting to rejoin the Iran nuclear deal that enriches & assists the world's largest state-sponsor of terrorism. What would help the “soul of the nation” much more than a condescending lecture from President Biden is getting inflation under control instead of actively spending more money to make it worse. Or enforcing our immigration laws to prevent hundreds of thousands of American drug overdose deaths and the profound human suffering that has resulted from record-shattering illegal immigration. Or regaining American energy independence so that American families aren't spending more and more of their paychecks to make ends meet.”

Malliotakis (R-NY-11) 09/01/2022: Tweet – “Today I joined a bipartisan group in expressing concerns about @POTUS' push to rejoin the failed Iran Nuclear Deal without consulting Congress.
