I will always support tough sanctions to stop their nuclear capabilities as well as their ability to transfer money and weapons to terrorist groups, such as Hezbollah.
Support tough sanctions to block Iran's nuclear capabilities and its transfers of money and weapons to terrorist groups.
Occurrences
Evidence
Barry Moore wrote during his 2020 campaign that Iran was the leading sponsor of terrorism and said, 'I will always support tough sanctions' to stop Iran's nuclear capabilities and its transfers of money and weapons to terrorist groups such as Hezbollah.
The House Clerk records that Rep. Barry Moore voted 'Yea' on H. Res. 1099, 'Reaffirming Iran remains the largest state sponsor of terrorism.'
Congress.gov shows Barry Moore as a cosponsor of H.R. 2468, the 'No Sanctions Relief for Terrorists Act,' which would prohibit sanctions waivers relating to Iran.
Assessments
Moore made the campaign pledge in 2020 and, while serving in the House, took actions consistent with it: voting for a resolution reaffirming Iran as the largest state sponsor of terrorism and cosponsoring the No Sanctions Relief for Terrorists Act. However, the cited evidence does not show that his sanctions legislation became law or that he delivered a binding sanctions outcome blocking Iran's nuclear capabilities or terror financing. This supports partial credit for same-term legislative support and effort, not full delivery.
