Feenstra Backs Legislation Urging President Biden to Immediately Freeze $6 Billion in Funds to Iran

October 13, 2023

WASHINGTON, D.C. – This week, U.S. Rep. Randy Feenstra (R-Hull) cosponsored legislation – led by U.S. Rep. August Pfluger (R-TX) – urging President Biden to immediately freeze the $6 billion in funds that he authorized for Iran.

“Iran has repeatedly financed terrorism across the globe and undoubtedly helped fund the barbaric attacks against Israel at the hands of Hamas. Iran must be held fully accountable for their role in the murder of at least 27 Americans and over 1,300 Israeli citizens,” said Rep. Feenstra. “I’m proud to work with my friend from Texas, Rep. August Pfluger, to urge President Biden to immediately freeze the $6 billion in funds that he authorized for Iran. Iran’s support of Hamas is despicable, and that’s why we must never allow another dollar to be sent to Iran. The United States must never tolerate regimes that fund terrorism.”
