U.S. Rep. Luke Messer (IN-06) voted today in support of tightened sanctions against Iran, Russia and North Korea – three regimes that continue to undermine U.S. national security.

The U.S. House of Representatives passed H.R. 3364 today, which includes provisions to 1) tighten sanctions against those involved in the Iranian regime’s ballistic missile program, 2) strengthen transatlantic cooperation in countering Russian aggression and cyber-attacks, and 3) increase the President’s authority to impose sanctions on North Korea and its supporters.

“Iran, Russia and North Korea pose serious threats to our national security,” Messer said. “Under the Obama administration, these threats grew and were largely ignored. It’s past time to reassert our authority on the world stage, respond to mounting global threats and hold aggressors accountable. Today’s sanctions bill puts strong economic and political pressure on these rogue regimes, and puts America’s security first.”
