The Hill: Hundreds of lawmakers urge Pompeo to take 'increased diplomatic action' to renew Iran arms embargo
Hundreds of House lawmakers in both parties are calling on Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to take “increased diplomatic action” to renew a United Nations arms embargo on Iran set to expire in October.
“We write to urge increased diplomatic action by the United States to renew the expiring United Nations arms embargo against Iran and United Nations travel restrictions on those Iranian individuals involved with dangerous proliferation activities,” the lawmakers wrote in a letter to Pompeo obtained by The Hill ahead of its release.
“America must continue its longstanding, bipartisan leadership in order to limit Iran's destabilizing activities throughout the world,” they added. “We look forward to working with you to reauthorize these expiring U.N. restrictions, which are essential to protecting our national security and the American people.”

Great SU37s flown by Russian mercs... and to think Trump was all bluster before, you won't get a peep out of him next term if the embargo is lifted.
Throwing a barrage of shit works.
What percentage of time, money and effort have the Democrat Party in particular and liberal sin general spent to stymie or stop Trump. Just impeachment and the investigation up until it, took lots of Trump's time.
It is like attending a track a field event where spectators are throwing trash and obstacles onto the track and then laughing that a runner cannot run 100 yards in under 10 seconds.
How much can you get done in Washington, when you have shitwad's like Nancy Pelosi doing this?
