WASHINGTON, D.C. — Congressman August Pfluger (TX-11), Chairman of the Republican Study Committee, announced the introduction of two pieces of legislation as part of the RSC’s “Enforcing Maximum Pressure” initiative to hold the Iranian regime accountable.
During the RSC press conference announcing this legislation, Rep. Pfluger said, “President Trump has not just earned our gratitude, he deserves unwavering support as he revives the maximum pressure campaign against Iran’s leaders—the world’s most dangerous state sponsors of terrorism. The Iranian regime is not just a threat, its leaders are a genocidal death cult. Make no mistake about their strategy—they view Israel’s destruction as the beginning of their evil plans.”
The No Iranian Energy Act sanctions the importation of Iranian natural gas to Iraq, cutting off their lifeline. This is necessary as recently, the sanctions waiver for electricity transmission from Iran expired in line with President Trump’s NSPM-2. With Iranian gas imports accounting for roughly 8.8 GW of power generation, additional action is needed to cut off this revenue stream for the regime in Tehran.
