This comes after increased attacks from Iranian-backed proxies in the Middle East.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cStrengthening sanctions on Iranian oil is especially critical in light of the ongoing attacks on U.S. forces across the Middle East by Iranian-backed groups,\u201d <strong>wrote the senators.<\/strong> \u201cAccording to the U.S. Department of Defense, there have been more than 140 attacks on U.S. troops in the region since October 7, 2023, most recently resulting in the tragic deaths of three U.S. servicemembers and dozens of injuries this past weekend.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThese exports provide a crucial lifeline to sustain and expand Iran\u2019s sponsorship of terrorist groups whose objective is to harm U.S. interests in the Middle East and to destroy our ally, Israel. Accordingly, we call on you to immediately take additional action to stop Iran\u2019s illicit oil trade,\u201d <strong>the senators continued.<\/strong> \u201cSpecifically, we urge you to sanction ships transporting Iranian petroleum products as well as the foreign ports and refineries that knowingly accept those products.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The full letter can be found <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rosen.senate.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/01.31.24-Rubio-Hassan-Letter-to-POTUS-re-Iran-Oil-Sanctions.pdf\">aqu\u00ed<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Senators Rosen and Cortez Masto have consistently stood up to Iran.

Senator Rosen also stood up to her own party and voted in favor of several Republican amendments to the Authorization For Use of Military Force that would combat Iranian aggression and support Israel. Rosen helped introduce the bipartisan <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rosen.senate.gov\/es\/2023\/05\/03\/rosen-lee-introduce-bipartisan-bicameral-bill-to-solidify-u-s-sanctions-on-iran%EF%BF%BC\/\"><em>Solidify Iran Sanctions Act<\/em><\/a> to make permanent the Iran Sanctions of 1996 that would allow the President to impose sanctions on Iran\u2019s energy sectors.
