Daines on New Sanctions Implemented on Iran:
You cannot deal with a regime that talks daily about death to America, wants to see Israel and America wiped off the map, there’s got to be change. This needs to be driven by the Iranian people. This is not about a combat operation from the United States. This is about the Iranian people who, by the way, want to see a regime change. So how do we get there? The sanctions, additional sanctions announced today by our great treasurer, Scott Bessent, tightening workarounds where the Quds force is selling oil to offshore countries, we’ve got to tighten the noose around the Iranian economy and that will be a key way here to destabilize the regime and to see a new regime come into place.
Daines on Peace through Strength:
Thanks to peace through strength, through Prime Minister Netanyahu and President Trump’s
resolve and strength. We’re at a point now with these sanctions, where there could be a change in the Iranian government. Look, when you have an Iranian government that wakes up every day and says, “Death to America, destroy Israel, destroy America,” better is possible. That will be up to the Iranian people. And I’m confident, at some point, this regime is going to topple, and will be replaced by something that can work with Israel and work with the United States.
