US House passes ballistic missile sanctions on Iran

None

The US House of Representatives voted nearly unanimously on Thursday for new sanctions on Iran's ballistic missile program, part of an effort to clamp down on Tehran without immediately moving to undermine an international nuclear agreement.

 

The vote was 423 to two for the "Iran Ballistic Missiles and International Sanctions Enforcement Act." Among other things, it calls on the US president to report to Congress on the Iranian and international supply chain for Iran's ballistic missile program and to impose sanctions on Iranian government or foreign entities that support it.
