Cruz (R-TX) 10/11/2022: Tweet – “Biden has alienated all of our friends. He's alienated Israel, the UK, Brazil, India. The Saudis want to be friends with us. Biden has gone out of his way to attack them. He said he would make them a "pariah." It's idiotic. It's no surprise they told him to go jump in a lake. Link to video”

Graham (R-SC) 10/11/2022: Twitter thread – “Very pleased that the Iran Nuclear Weapons Capability and Terrorism Monitoring Act of 2022 that I cosponsored with Senator Menendez is included in the Senate Substitute to the NDAA. This bill does a lot, including requiring periodic reports to Congress from the intelligence, diplomatic and defense communities regarding the status of the Iranian nuclear program in a number of vital areas. It is imperative that Congress receive the most up-to-date information on the status of Iran's nuclear ambitions and that we collaborate with our partners in the Middle East like Israel. There would be no more destabilizing event than the Ayatollah and his henchmen detonating a nuclear weapon.”

Iran

Cruz (R-TX) 10/11/2022: Tweet – “Biden's foreign policy is to give billions of dollars to American enemies.

Risch (R-ID) 10/11/2022: Twitter thread – “All of the discussions on foreign energy are missing the point. If we want to ease the energy supply crisis other oil exporters are causing, the solution is to boost American energy production – not strangle it through regulation. Instead, Biden is trying & failing to play the global energy markets through complex & unworkable schemes like the price cap on #Russian oil or dubious ventures with #Venezuela and #Iran. Unleash American resources and don't cut deals with bad actors. It's not complicated.”

Scott (R-FL) 10/12/2022: Twitter thread – “In the face of the regime's brutal crackdown, the brave women and citizens protesting throughout #Iran are pressing on.

We cannot forget them & their plight as they push back on the Taliban's oppression. We think about the heroic women and girls in Ukraine as they help their country defend their right to survive and preserve their traditions, culture and way of life from Russia's barbaric invasion and war. We think about the courageous women and girls in Iran who have taken to the streets to demand an end the horrific brutality & systemic oppression by Iranian forces. The U.S. plays a critical role in promoting global women's empowerment. What we say & do matters, and we have a role to facilitate those efforts: Ambassador at Large of Global Women's Issues. We have a qualified nominee waiting in the wings - let's give Dr. Gupta a vote now.”

Sullivan (R-AK) 10/12/2022: Tweet – “When oil prices rose, the Biden Admin didn't say let's produce more in America. They went around the world to the Saudis, to the Venezuelans, even the Iranians, begging them to produce more energy. American energy is American strength, and they are unilaterally surrendering it.

Warren (D-MA) 10/11/2022: Tweet – “This fine is further proof that the crypto industry allows countries like Iran to evade economic sanctions and emphasizes the need for congressional action.

Saudi Arabia

Allred (D-TX-32) 10/11/2022: Tweet – “Saudi Arabia's decision to cut oil production not only exacerbates energy issues across the globe, but it emboldens Putin in his unjust war.

Boebert (R-CO-3) 10/12/2022: Tweet – “Joe Biden is busy locking up 280,000 acres in Colorado, preventing responsible energy and natural resources production. Gas is $4 a gallon. Stop blocking American energy production and stop begging OPEC and the Saudi Prince for our energy needs!”

Cassidy (R-LA) 10/12/2022: Tweet – “By asking the Saudis to delay their cut in oil production only until after the election, the Biden administration is proving again that their energy policy is about serving their politics, not American families.

Cloud (R-TX-27) 10/11/2022: Tweet – “Instead of unleashing American energy production, the Biden administration would rather beg (with no success) the Saudi government to wait until after the midterms before decreasing oil production.

Meeks (D-NY-5) 10/11/2022: Twitter thread – “CM @RepGregoryMeeks The latest OPEC+ decision to significantly reduce output is disappointing & a boost to Russia's heinous war machine. Increased energy prices & further uncertainty undermines efforts to stabilize the global economy, impacting especially the most vulnerable.

Wild (D-PA-7) 10/11/2022: Twitter thread – “Let's be clear: OPEC's decision to slash oil production is a cruel attempt to mess with American politics while Big Oil, Putin, and MBS line their pockets. This move will not only drive up American gas prices, but it will also enable Putin to continue his illegal war in Ukraine. Oil prices are already too high. That's why we passed the Inflation Reduction Act—to reduce our reliance on foreign oil, create a sustainable clean energy economy, and protect American consumers from price fluctuations. Our foreign partners should work with us—not against us. My bill with @RepMalinowski and @RepCasten will remove our troops from Saudi Arabia and the UAE for its decision to slash oil production.
