Senator Blackburn Leads Press Conference Standing With Israel & Calling on Biden Admin to Freeze the $6B Ransom Payment to Iran
In a perilous and ever-changing global landscape, America stands as a beacon of freedom. In areas dominated by authoritarian regimes, those advocating for fundamental human rights find solace in America’s unwavering determination to champion democratic principles.
The New Axis of Evil — China, Russia, Iran and North Korea — is conspiring to destroy America. Senator Blackburn applauds President Trump and his administration's work to combat the New Axis of Evil and restore American dominance on the world stage.
On the anniversary of September 11th, the Biden administration sought to unfreeze $6 billion in assets for Iran in a deal to swap prisoners. Only weeks later, on October 7th, 2023, Hamas terrorists launched an unprovoked assault on Israel — the deadliest attack on the Jewish people since the Holocaust.
Senator Blackburn immediately took action, leading nearly all of the Tennessee delegation in a letter to former President Biden, urging his administration to support Israel however possible — including by providing any weapons and munitions necessary and punishing all involved in aiding the Hamas terrorists.
She also led 19 of her Senate Republican colleagues in demanding that President Biden and his State Department immediately rescind the waivers that allowed Iranian funds to be converted and moved to more accessible bank accounts. Iran is the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism, funding and directing proxy groups across the Middle East while targeting the United States, our troops, and innocent civilians.
Senator Blackburn supports President Trump’s work to make America safer by destroying Iran’s missiles, navy, and nuclear capability through Operation Epic Fury. Iran has tried to assassinate President Trump and has planned terror attacks on U.S. soil.
Throughout her career, Senator Blackburn has also been a strong voice against Russian aggression and Vladimir Putin’s attempts to rebuild the Soviet empire. She has consistently supported measures to hold Russia accountable, deter its invasions, and protect American interests from Kremlin threats.
Senator Blackburn has worked to counter the threats from Communist China against America and the West. To read more about Senator Blackburn’s efforts to hold the Chinese Communist Party accountable, click here.
