Royce: Nuclear Deal Gives Iran Sanctions Relief, Leaves Victims of its Terror ‘Out in the Cold’

Supporting a bill preventing President Obama from lifting any sanctions on Iran until Tehran pays court-ordered damages to U.S. victims of Iranian-sponsored terrorism, House Foreign Affairs Committee chairman Rep. Ed Royce said under the nuclear deal “Iran will get sanctions lifted, and American victims will still be out in the cold.” Committee ranking member Rep. Eliot Engel said Iran would not have the money to pay the damages before sanctions are lifted, and that the measure “offers nothing but false hope.”
