Cindy Hyde-Smith: Stop Iran from advancing any further on the world stage

A dozen Republican Senator wrote in support of the Trump administration's so-called maximum pressure strategy to succeed against terrorist-financiers like Iran. In an Aug. 22 letter to the Treasury Secretary, "We understand that Iran's leaders are working with American adversaries, and reportedly even with some allies, to circumvent these sanctions."

Specifically, the lawmakers requested any necessary steps to guarantee the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (SWIFT), an international banking messaging system that connects financial institutions around the world, disconnects the Central Bank of Iran and all other designated Iranian financial institutions.

"Iran is an unapologetic sponsor of global terrorism, and cutting off Iran's ability to finance those activities is necessary," said Sen. Hyde-Smith. "President Trump and Secretary Mnuchin should absolutely keep working to stop Iran from advancing any further as a bad actor on the world stage."
