He reposted a clip of the Iranian foreign minister warning that the United States \u201cwon\u2019t be spared from the fire of the war in region\u201d if the war in Gaza continues.<\/p>\n
\u201cI say it frankly to American statesmen: We don\u2019t welcome expansion of war in the region, but if the genocide in Gaza continues, they won\u2019t be spared from this fire,\u201d Abdollahian warned.<\/p>\n
Scott is a leading proponent of moving $14.3 billion in aid for Israel separately from a larger $105 billion foreign aid package requested by Biden. <\/p>\n
Scott has warned the United States is at risk from attack by terrorists, who he says could enter the country across the U.S.-Mexico border. <\/p>\n
He joined Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) and other Republicans earlier this month to introduce legislation to freeze the $6 billion in assets that were set to be transferred to Iran as part of a prisoner exchange negotiated by the Biden administration. <\/p>\n
The administration has agreed to keep those assets frozen in Qatar for the time being.<\/p>\n
