House of Representatives Votes to Toughen Iran Sanctions
(The Hill) Cristina Marcos - The U.S. House of Representatives passed legislation Tuesday to block Iran's access to the dollar and impose sanctions for its ballistic missile program. A day earlier, the House approved a measure to stop the federal government from buying heavy water from Iran. "Deal or no deal - good or bad deal - we always agreed to hold Iran accountable for terrorism, for its development of ballistic missiles, and for its human rights abuses committed against its own people," said House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.). President Obama has threatened to veto the measures.
