Working across the aisle, I helped pass laws exposing business dealings in Iran, cracking down on Iranian human rights abusers, and applying crippling sanctions to Iran's oil and gas industries.

Iran has a dismal record on human rights.

It was sanctions that drove Iran to the negotiating table in the first place.

I believe we're stronger when we speak loudly and unapologetically for human rights; when we stand with our allies against common threats like terrorism, radicalization, and poverty; and when we unite to prevent the world's most dangerous regimes from acquiring the world's deadliest weapons.

There's no way any number of companies will be able to protect human rights through a business model. When things go wrong, people need a [legal] remedy. Right now we don't have that.

Human rights are women's rights, and women's rights are human rights.
