Los Angeles, CA - One month after his Iran Sanctions legislation became law, Rep. Berman noted with interest several reports outlining the effectiveness of the new sanctions. 

 

“Nearly a month after President Obama signed into law HR 2194, the Comprehensive Iran Sanctions, Accountability, and Divestment Act, more investment has been curbed in Iran than at any time since Congress first enacted sanctions against Iran in 1996.  I look forward to working with President Obama and my colleagues in Congress to build on the success of this important legislation and eliminate the threat of a nuclear Iran.”
