Dodd Announces Plan for Iran Sanctions Bill

Today Senate Banking Committee Chairman Chris Dodd (D-CT) announced he is working on a bill to expand the Presidents ability to sanction Iran as the United States heads towards negotiations with that country. The Senate Banking Committee has jurisdiction over financial and economic sanctions.

If Iran were to acquire nuclear weapons capability, it would pose a significant threat to peace and security in the Middle East, especially to our close ally Israel, said Dodd. That is a threat to both national security and global stability and it cannot be allowed to stand unchallenged.

As Chairman of the Senate Banking Committee, I intend to introduce legislation that will arm the administration with the ability to impose tough, targeted sanctions if Iran does not respond to our final diplomatic effort in the coming weeks.
