I want to update you on the impact of the critical Iran sanctions that you were so instrumental in enacting. Since President Obama signed the Comprehensive Iran Sanctions, Divestment and Accountability Act into law two weeks ago, we have already seen tangible results in three important ways:
- Major, multi-national corporations are leaving Iran and ceasing their business operations in the Islamic Republic.
- Nations once friendly to Tehran have changed their behavior to avoid U.S. sanctions. Moreover, many other countries have followed America’s lead and increased pressure on the regime.
- Law firms have issued legal briefs to their clients about the strength of these sanctions and are advising them not to conduct business in the Islamic Republic.
The momentum generated by the signing of this law has been remarkable. But the centrifuges are still spinning. Our work is far from over. Now is the time to encourage those who care about Israel to get active at this critical juncture by sending emails to the members of Congress by clicking the following links:
Thank Congress for Backing Tough Iran Sanctions
Please thank your member of the House and your senators for voting in favor of the Comprehensive Iran Sanctions, Accountability and Divestment Act of 2010. This historic legislation, which passed the Senate by a vote of 99-0 and the House by a vote of 408-8-1, is the most comprehensive and toughest piece of Iran sanctions legislation ever to emerge from Congress. The legislation imposes smart, crippling sanctions on Iran aimed at persuading the regime to end its illicit pursuit of a nuclear weapons capability
