This morning, members of the Republican Study Committee’s Steering Committee adopted an official position in support of Rep. August Pfluger’s Amendment 6 to H.R. 5961, the No Funds for Iranian Terrorism Act.

The position reads:

The RSC Steering Committee supports the passage of Pfluger Amendment 6 to H.R. 5961 the No Funds for Iranian Terrorism Act.

This amendment would strengthen this important bill by blocking all Iranian sanctioned funds from being unfrozen or otherwise released, and by removing the President’s abilities to release such funds through the abuse of waiver or license authorities. The announcement last week that the Biden administration was issuing a waiver allowing Iraq to send $10 billion dollars to Iran for electricity payments underscores the need for Congress to act to prevent any further funding from going to the terrorist regime in Iran. In the wake of the October 7th attack on Israel by Iran-backed Hamas terrorists it is more pressing than ever that Congress uses all means to choke off any and all sources of funding to the terrorist regime in Iran.
