Cheney’s legislative effort comes as GOP hawks in Congress have launched an offensive against the Trump administration’s decision to again grant Iran sanctions waivers that permit it to conduct sensitive nuclear work, including at an underground bunker site that once housed the regime’s atomic weapons program.
