Despite the Obama administration's threats, Congress unanimously voted on Thursday to pass new sanctions on Iran.

The Washington Free Beacon reports that although the president and Secretary of State John Kerry had been pushing lawmakers to forgo passing new sanctions, Congress remained resolute, voting 99-0 to approve them. Best of all, Democrats, knowing that Obama's days are numbered, were finally able to throw off the yoke and actually voted in favor of the sanctions too. 

The Beacon adds: 

While President Barack Obama has threatened to veto the new sanctions, sources told the Free Beacon that mounting opposition to the deal may make this difficult for the White House, which has been working in its final months to preserve the diplomatic agreement before President-elect Donald Trump assumes control.

As lawmakers pave the way for Trump to undo the deal, the Obama administration is working furiously in its final days to preserve a deal that officials describe as a signature piece of Obama’s time in office.

The White House worked fiercely to stop the new sanctions from coming to a vote, according to sources familiar with the situation. However, the administration could not stem a growing sense in Congress that Iran has continued to embrace terrorism and foster chaos in the region since the nuclear deal was inked.

"President Obama should immediately sign into law the Iran Sanctions Extension Act," Sen. Mark Kirk told the Beacon.

"Since the fatally-flawed nuclear deal, the outgoing administration has done so appallingly little to push back against the growing dangers of Iran’s terrorism financing, missile proliferation, support for the Assad regime, and human rights abuses."

Rep. Ileana Ros Lehtinen also told the outlet that Obama is going to be none-too-pleased about the outcome of this vote: 

"The only actions President Obama should be taking on Iran over these next few weeks is to vigorously and fully implement all sanctions against the regime and enforce all restrictions against its nuclear program,” she said. “But we shouldn’t expect that to happen, as we’ve already seen Iran attempt to manipulate the White House into blocking the Iran Sanctions Act extension—which was an unsuccessful effort—by absurdly claiming it would violate the JCPOA.”

We are certain Obama is not pleased in the least, but it is a new dawn, and his days to damage our national security are thankfully now numbered.
