Hudson Statement on New Iran Sanctions
WASHINGTON, D.C. -Today, U.S. Representative Richard Hudson (NC-08) released the following statement on the Trump administration’s announcement of new sanctions on Iran:
“Iran’s launch of ballistic missiles is a clear provocation of the United States, Israel and our allies – plain and simple. I applaud President Trump for taking swift, strong action to hold Iran accountable and reassert American leadership.”
Iran’s recent ballistic missile launch is a clear violation of UN Security Council Resolution 2231, which calls upon Iran “not to undertake any activity related to ballistic missiles designed to be capable of delivering nuclear weapons, including launches using such ballistic missile technology.”
