Senator Chris Coons says he wants a tougher responses to Iran’s testing of ballistic missiles and chided the Obama administration for its “hesitation”.
The Wilmington News Journal reports that the Delaware Democrat called for the administration to impose sanctions after the two missile tests.
Coons is a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and he told reporters that he would continue to push for sanctions this year.
The senate made his remarks after a trip last week to the region that included the countries of Saudi Arabia, Israel and Turkey as well as a stop in the city of Vienna.
His trip included a look at the Iran nuclear weapons deal.
