Lawmakers Demand Strong Action Against Iran for Hamas Attacks

Lawmakers from both parties are pressuring President Biden to impose more aggressive financial sanctions on Iran in response to Hamas's recent attack on Israel. The lawmakers, backed by over 110 signatures, are calling for measures such as blocking Iranian oil sales to China to cut off a key source of funding for the regime. The White House has not yet adopted this approach, as it risks escalating the conflict in the Middle East and driving up global gas prices. The administration's response may depend on U.S. intelligence agencies' findings on Iran's role in the attack.
