Governor proposes Florida sanctions on Iran for Hamas attacks
Florida Governor and US presidential candidate Ron DeSantis has announced a proposal to increase sanctions against the Iranian regime, including broadening the industries on Florida’s scrutinized companies list and strengthening Florida’s position on states that sponsor terror.
‘As a state and a nation, we must stand with Israel following the heinous attacks over the weekend,’ DeSantis said, 10 October. ‘With Iran helping plot the barbaric attack against Israel, I want to make it abundantly clear: Florida supports the State of Israel against the Iranian terror state’
The State Department has to date said it has found no evidence of a link between Iran and the 7 October attacks in Israel by Hamas, which Iran admits to backing politically.
