New sanctions on Iran’s oil may be included in a House foreign aid package that House Speaker Mike Johnson has vowed to bring to a vote this week, the top Republican on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee said Wednesday.
“The pot’s boiling right now,” Senator James Risch, an Idaho Republican, said in an interview. There are “discussions in the two houses to include some of those kinds of things in this package that will hopefully pass out of the House.”
