Senators seek sanctions on Iran over alleged plot to kidnap journalist on U.S soil

The legislation that has been introduced by Senators Cardin and Toomey is designed to punish Iran. The Biden Administration is in Vienna negotiating a deal that is designed to enrich Iran.

Iran finances terrorism world wide, it promises to annihilate our greatest ally, and it plots kidnappings of Americans on U.S soil. Unbelievably, none of this nefarious activity will prevent the Biden Administration from re-entering the JCPOA with Iran. A deal that will enable Iran to finance more terrorism and manufacture nukes.

US senators seek sanctions on Iran over alleged plot to kidnap journalist

US prosecutors charged four Iranian operatives in July with plotting to kidnap Alinejad, a journalist who was critical of Tehran. Iran has called the allegation “baseless.”

By Jerusalem Post, December 4, 2021

Democratic and Republican US senators announced legislation on Thursday that would impose sanctions over an alleged plot by Iranian intelligence agents to kidnap Iranian-born US journalist Masih Alinejad.
Democrat Ben Cardin and Republican Pat Toomey said their legislation would seek to hold Iran accountable for the plot and prevent any further attempted kidnappings on US soil by imposing mandatory sanctions on those involved and authorizing secondary sanctions on banks doing business with them.
US prosecutors charged four Iranian operatives in July with plotting to kidnap Alinejad, a journalist who was critical of Tehran. Iran has called the allegation “baseless.”
“If you dare to attempt to come to our nation and kidnap an American citizen, there will be dire consequences,” Cardin told a news conference with Toomey and Alinejad, who said she came out of hiding for the event at the US Capitol.
The US Treasury Department said in September it had sanctioned the four Iranian intelligence operatives behind the failed plot.
The bill’s path to becoming law was not immediately clear, but Cardin and Toomey said they would do everything possible to see it was passed and sent to the White House for President Joe Biden to sign into law.
“I am cautiously optimistic,” Toomey said.
