Sanction Iraq to intensify pressure on Iran, Republican Congressmen say

Two Republican lawmakers have called for sanctions against Iraq as part of Washington's maximum pressure campaign on Iran.

"More than 4,400 American service members sacrificed their lives since the start of the Iraq War, yet today Iraq stands as nothing more than a puppet of Tehran," Reps. Joe Wilson (R-SC) and Greg Steube (R-FL) wrote in a letter to US Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
