House lawmakers will vote to extend sanctions authority on Iran when they return for a post-election session next week, GOP leadership announced late Thursday.
An extension authored by House Foreign Affairs Committee chairman Ed Royce will be introduced and considered next week, according to House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy’s schedule. The underlying bill has been a fundamental plank of U.S. policy toward Iran since 1996, but it is due to expire at the end of the year. President Obama’s nuclear deal with Iran makes its extension a little dicier than usual.
