The National Iranian American Council, on the other hand, denounced the bill as “unhelpful”. “At best, the wrongheaded measures included in the bill are empty symbolic gestures aimed at reasserting a more confrontational posture in the region,” NIAC Action Executive Director Jamal Abdi in a statement. “At worst, they are an actionable policy agenda that would undermine the gains secured by diplomacy and set us on a path to unraveling the nuclear deal.
