Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) introduced a bill Wednesday that would require the White House to “regularly update Congress on Iran’s compliance with any nuclear deal,” according to The Hill.

The bill would set up “an expedited process for Congress to reinstate sanctions and impose other penalties if Iran violates any agreement.”

Boxer’s bill is cosponsored by Democratic Sens. Sherrod Brown (Ohio), Tom Carper (Del.), Dianne Feinstein (Calif.), Al Franken (Minn.), Martin Heinrich (N.M.) and Brian Schatz of Hawaii.

Boxer said in a press release, “I am proud of this bill because it will ensure that if there is a nuclear deal and if Iran violates it, there will be immediate action by Congress to reinstate sanctions and consider even tougher penalties against Iran.”

Said Schatz in a press release, “Congress has given the Administration the space it needs to negotiate a deal to prevent Iran from developing a nuclear weapon. But if a deal is struck, Congress will exercise its oversight role to ensure Iranian compliance. This bill would put in place an expedited process to consider legislation to reinstate sanctions and prohibit transfers of assets to Iran if it violates its agreement with the P5+1. Our guiding principle will continue to be distrust but verify.”

The Iran Congressional Oversight Act comes after Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech to Congress Tuesday warning that a U.S.-Iran deal on nuclear weapons would be disastrous. Schatz was among about 50 members of Congress who skipped the speech.

Meanwhile, The Hill reports that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) announced Tuesday that he would “fast-track a different Iran bill for a vote on the Senate floor next week — in advance of a March 24 deadline for negotiators to reach a framework agreement with Iran.”
