NCRI – A senior member of the US House of Representatives is putting the Iranian regime and its nuclear program at the top of her agenda in the next Congress, according to TheHill.com on Sunday.
Taking the helm of the House Foreign Affairs Committee next month, Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen said Iran is “No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3” on the panel’s to-do list, The Hill reported.
She was quoted as saying that, “The bills that we pass become interesting historical documents but not really bills that have been implemented,” referring to bipartisan congressional efforts to pass tough sanctions against the regime over its nuclear program.
“And so we want to put an end to that. Can we do it? We can’t force the administration to do it.
“But we hope to have oversight hearings that will ask the administration, ‘Why aren’t you sanctioning more banks and companies and countries? What are we doing and what are you waiting for?’ ” Ros-Lehtinen said.
The representative from Florida stressed that when it comes to Iran, Democrats “are as equally frustrated as I am.”
