YP – Hyde-Smith supports bill to sanction Iran’s Supreme Leader and President-elect
US Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith (R-Miss.) Supports a law enforcing human rights sanctions against the Supreme Leader of Iran Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and the regimeâs elected President Ebrahim Raisi.
Hyde-Smith is an original co-sponsor of P.2374, Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas) legislation. It would require the president to comply with the Global Magnitsky Human Rights Act of 2016, which provides sanctions against those responsible for human rights abuses or acts of corruption.
âThere should really be no question of imposing these human rights sanctions on leaders in Iran. Their record of aggression, not only against their own people, but also against our nation, its allies and interests, is well known. The government should abandon any misconception that not imposing these sanctions would make Iran more pleasing to the interests of the freedom-loving world, âsaid Hyde-Smith.
