States Should Keep Sanctioning Iran

This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute.

As part of his relentless campaign to appease the jihadist regime in Tehran, President Obama is pressing governors to rescind state-level statutory sanctions against Iran. Fortunately, a number of those states’ chief executives have declined to do his shameful bidding.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott actually called the President out for his malfeasance. He said, in part: “Because the Iran deal is fundamentally flawed and does not permanently dismantle Iran’s nuclear capability, Texas will maintain its sanctions against Iran.” For good measure, Mr. Abbott told the President: “Further, because your administration has recklessly and unilaterally removed critical sanctions, I have called on the Texas legislature to strengthen the Iran sanctions that Texas already has in place.”

As we learn more about this fraudulent deal with Iran and the lies used to sell it, more states need to follow Texas’ lead.
