Assemblyman David DiPietro (R,C-East Aurora) has signed on to a bipartisan letter urging Gov. Cuomo to continue state-level sanctions against Iran, like the New York Iran Divestment Act of 2012, regardless of the executive agreement entered into by the P5+1 and the Islamic Republic of Iran. In total, 30 members of the State Assembly signed on to the letter from districts all across the state.

“The deal struck between the P5+1 and Iran puts the United States, Israel, and the entirety of the Middle East in danger,” DiPietro said. “We must do everything in our power to ensure that the sanctions we can control on the state level are held in place, and force businesses to decide whether to do business with the United States or with an international sponsor of terrorism. I am proud to be a part of this movement urging our governor to continue to stand up against a sponsor of terrorism and against a nuclear-armed, and better-financed Iran.”
