Washington, Ramadan 23, 1434, Aug 1, 2013, SPA - The U.S. House of Representatives overwhelmingly approved legislation on Wednesday that would impose the toughest sanctions yet on Iran. The 400-to-20 vote to approve the legislation, known as the Nuclear Iran Prevention Act, came four days before the inauguration of Iran’s President-elect Hassan Rouhani. “Iran may have a new president, but its march toward a nuclear program continues,” Representative Ed Royce, a California Republican who was a main sponsor of the bipartisan legislation, said after the vote. “The economic and political pressure on Tehran must be ratcheted up.” --SPA 14:28 LOCAL TIME 11:28 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/1134045
