the Republicans in the House of representatives of the Congress of the United States plan on Tuesday to submit proposals on new sanctions against Russia, China and Iran, as well as restrictions on assistance to Lebanon.
this was announced by Congressman Greg Stuby on air of TV channel Fox Business.
“Yes, it is expected that they will present tomorrow (on Tuesday.— “B”),” — said Mr. Stuby to the question about the plans of legislators to publish their proposals this week (quoted by TASS). He said that the proposals relate to the “new sanctions” and “approaches in the field of foreign policy to Russia, China and Iran.” “The validity of the arms embargo against Iran expires in October. Of course, we do not believe that China and Russia should supply weapons to the Iranian authorities,” he explained.
According to him, it is planned to propose measures that would impede economic cooperation between Iran and Iraq. In addition, Republicans are advised to limit the provision of American assistance to Lebanon. TV journalist during the conversation, noted that, according to sources, Republicans in the U.S. Congress intend to represent “the largest ever package of sanctions against Iran”.
Previously, the United States gave Iran two months to collapse a peaceful nuclear programme, except for work on the Bushehr plant. While Washington has promised to intensify pressure on Iran in the event of further “nuclear blackmail”. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu urged the international community after the United States to impose on Iran “crippling sanctions”.
