GOPDD: Blumenthal, Carter Agree ‘More Must Be Done’ to Deter Iran’s Ballistic Missile Program

By Jen - Mar 19, 2016

(Freebeacon) At a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing on Thursday, Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D., Conn.) expressed his concern about Iran’s ballistic missile program and asked Secretary of Defense Ash Carter if increased sanctions should be brought against Iran.
“Finally, I have long been concerned, as many of my colleagues have been, about the Iran ballistic missile program, its continuing testing. I led a letter to President Obama with a number of my colleagues calling for immediate enforcement of sanctions against Iran and the Department of Treasury, following the letter, did indeed enforce sanctions against eleven entities and individuals supporting Iran’s missile program, Blumenthal said.
