WASHINGTON
-
U.S.
Senator
Tim
Scott
(R-SC)
released
the
following
statement
after
the
Trump
administration
announced
new
sanctions
against
Iran:
“Recent
actions
by
Iran
has
once
again
demonstrated
their
reluctance
to
curb
their
confrontational
nuclear
missile
program.
These
dangerous,
provocative
actions
by
a
country
considered
a
state
sponsor
of
terror
should
carry
consequences.
The
decision
to
increase
sanctions
should
come
as
no
surprise.
A
line
was
drawn,
and
Iran
deliberately
defied
the
agreement.
I
stand
by
the
President
on
his
decision
to
implement
a
quick
and
deliberate
strategy.
It
should
send
a
clear
message
that
Iran’s
reckless
behavior
will
not
be
tolerated."
