More than 60 House Democrats joined several dozen Republicans to call on President Joe Biden’s administration to take a stronger stance on Iran amid the Israel-Hamas conflict.

A letter from the lawmakers, dated Oct. 17, stated that “Iran must be held fully accountable for its continued role in funding Hamas and Islamic terror” and that the lawmakers “urge the administration to take all necessary steps to cut off Iranian funding sources.”
