U.S. Representative Mariannette Miller-Meeks, M.D. (R-IA) introduced a resolution urging the Biden Administration to utilize all coercive and diplomatic resources to secure the release of Americans held hostage, return to a policy of maximum sanctions regime against Iran, and demand the recently released $6 billion in Iranian funds be refrozen.

“Israel, our greatest ally in the Middle East, has experienced some of the most heinous acts in recent history over the last four days, and at least 150 individuals are still being brutalized and held hostage by Hamas,” said Miller-Meeks, M.D. “We must come to the aid of our allies in Israel, free the hostages held captive in Gaza by Hamas and freeze the $6 billion that the Biden Administration irresponsibly released to Iran on September 11th. We cannot deny the role that Iran plays in funding Palestinian terrorist organizations, and the Biden Administration must return to a policy of maximum sanctions pressure. I urge my colleagues to stand with Israel and demand that the Biden Administration act immediately to secure the release of Americans and Israelis held hostage.”
