Sherman said he introduced the Stop Oil Exports to Lower Gas Prices Act to halt U.S.-produced crude oil exports during the Iran war.
Assessments
Sherman made a direct legislative attempt that matched the promise by introducing H.R. 8670 to prohibit exports of crude oil, gasoline, and diesel fuel during military operations against Iran, but the available record shows only introduction and committee referral, not enactment or implementation. That supports partial credit rather than full delivery.
