Republicans in Congress this week will unveil the largest package of sanctions against Iran ever, an unprecedented plan aimed at paralyzing Tehran's "global terrorism" project and bankruptcy of the financially troubled regime, according to a copy of the legislative package obtained exclusively by The Washington Free newspaper. American bacon.

RSC, the largest republican congressional congressional assembly, will release on Wednesday a massive legislative proposal targeting malicious systems around the world, including Russia, China and Iran, and the proposal includes more than 140 new initiatives aimed at reasserting Republican leadership

The Iran section includes "the toughest sanctions ever," said Rep. Mike Johnson, RSC Chairman, which would greatly broaden the "maximum pressure" campaign for Trump's administration.

The legislative proposal specifically addresses some of the thorny issues in US foreign policy, from assisting disputed US taxpayers to Lebanon and other Middle Eastern countries "controlled by Iran", and exemptions from the sanctions that kept Tehran’s nuclear program alive, and the 2002 mandate to use military force in Iraq, which Republicans see as deeply outdated, given the emergence of many new terrorist factions.

RSC Johnson's chief of foreign affairs and national security and Representative Joe Wilson said that their proposal includes many priorities, and some Democrats can support many priorities, including foreign policy leaders such as Senator Robert Menendez, Representative Ted Deutsch and Representative Elliot Engel who all have expressed their concerns about the Iranian nuclear deal and Iran's regional ambitions.

In a related context, Congressman Greg Stube told the American "Fox Business" channel that "the draft resolution includes stopping American aid to countries in the Middle East, including Lebanon."

The draft resolution has not yet been submitted to Congress, and according to a member of Congress, lawmakers plan to submit it this week.

"The project includes new sanctions and a new approach in the field of foreign policy to deal with Russia, China and Iran," he said.

On the reason that prompted the public to present this initiative at the present time, Stube said, "The arms embargo imposed on Iran ends in October, and we believe that China and Russia should not provide the Iranian authorities with weapons."

He added that the Republicans intend to propose a series of measures aimed at hampering economic cooperation between Iran with Iraq and Lebanon.

According to Stop, the Republicans "recommend limiting the provision of American aid to Lebanon, as part of this money provided to Lebanon goes to Hezbollah."

And in the case of Iraq, "Iran should not be able to obtain 800 million dollars under an economic contract concluded with Iraq."
