                  COUNTERING IRAN'S DANGEROUS CONDUCT

  (Mr. WILSON of South Carolina asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Mr. Speaker, as an opponent of the 
failed Iran deal, I am grateful that President Donald Trump and his 
administration remain focused on combating the dangerous conduct of 
Iran.
  Iran's aggression has only increased with the windfall of newly 
accessible funds from the Iran deal. They have used the funding to 
upgrade missile technology, force terrorism worldwide, and fuel 
conflict around the Middle East.
  Last week, Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin announced that Iran had 
developed an Iran-Russia network to send oil to Syria. This oil is then 
used to fund murderous terrorist organizations like Hezbollah and 
Hamas. Sigal Mandelker, the Under Secretary of the Treasury for 
Terrorism and Financial Intelligence, explained: ``The Iranian regime 
continues to prioritize spending money on fomenting terror over 
supporting its own people.''
  President Trump has made the correct decision to impose sanctions on 
individuals related to this scheme, as he continues to fulfill 
``promises made, promises kept.''
  In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget 
September the 11th in the global war on terrorism.
