A bi-partisan letter has been sent by hundreds of U.S. congress members urging Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to increase diplomatic efforts against Iran’s terrorist activities and renew a United Nations arms embargo that expires in October.
“We write to urge increased diplomatic action by the United States to renew the expiring United Nations arms embargo against Iran and United Nations travel restrictions on those Iranian individuals involved with dangerous proliferation activities,” the lawmakers wrote.
