Tim Scott calls for Secretary Yellen to provide overdue report on sanctioned Iranian assets
The report, which was mandated as part of the national security supplemental package passed in April, was due May 24, according to Scott.
Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., requested that Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen provide a report on the Iranian assets that have been affected by U.S. sanctions.
The report, which was mandated as part of the national security supplemental package passed in April, was due May 24, according to Scott.
“As Iran and its proxies remain active in attacking our own servicemembers and our allies, Israel in particular, this information is even more critical," Scott wrote in a letter to Yellen, according to Punchbowl.
The letter emphasized Congress needing the report so they could be better updated on the Iran regime's funding of terrorist groups.
“It is my understanding that a fulsome report has been drafted,” Scott writes. “However, staff level conversations have not resulted in even an estimate of when this report can be expected.”
