<p>Russia has been providing Iran with information that could help Tehran identify U.S. warships, aircraft, and other military assets in the Middle East. That means Moscow is not just waging a brutal war against Ukraine; it is also helping a hostile regime threaten Americans, our partners, and critical Gulf infrastructure. Congress should treat this as part of the same Russia-Iran axis working to weaken the United States and destabilize our allies.</p>
<p>The Peace Through Strength Against Russia Act, H.R. 6856, is designed to impose serious costs on the Kremlin and the networks that sustain its war machine. The bill’s sponsors describe it as comprehensive sanctions legislation aimed at Russia’s financial system, energy leverage, sanctions evasion, and war crimes tied to the invasion of Ukraine, including the kidnapping of Ukrainian children. Weakening Russia in Ukraine is not a distraction from Middle East security; it is one of the clearest ways to reduce Moscow’s ability to arm, finance, and assist anti-American aggression abroad.</p>
<p>Contact your representative now and urge them to cosponsor H.R. 6856 and support the steps needed to bring it to the House floor. Russia should not be allowed to help Iran threaten American troops and pay no price for it. </p>
