The House passed a bill on May 5 to maintain U.S. sanctions on Iran.
The bill, introduced by Rep. Ryan McKenzie (R-Pa.), would repeal the sunset provision of the 1996 Iran Sanctions Act that allows the United States to sanction Tehran over its military capabilities, such as its ballistic missile program.
