The Trump administration's decision to put Iran "on notice" for its provocative ballistic missile test and to subsequently slap new sanctions on individuals and entities affiliated with its missile program was a positive break from the previous administration's policy of ignoring Iran's belligerent behavior while showering it with concessions.
The measure was welcomed by the critics of the failed appeasement policy toward Iran in Capitol Hill and across the world.
Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Bob Corker, R-Tenn., called the announcement "a new day in U.S.-Iran relations," stressing that it's past time to undertake a "coordinated, multi-faceted effort to push back against a range of illicit Iranian behavior."
Rep. Eliot Engel, D-N.Y., ranking member of the House Foreign Relations Committee, welcomed the new round of sanctions and underlined the need for the United States and its allies to deal with Iran's destabilizing behavior around the world.
