Titus did not demonstrate “ironclad” backing for Israel in that she voted against the “Standing Against Houthi Aggression Act,” legislation to re-designate Houthis as a terror organization; she opposed the “Iran Sanctions Relief Review Act,” legislation to restrict future sanction relief for Iran; and, she opposed HR 5947, legislation to rescind sanction waivers provided to Iran to unfreeze $6 billion.
In November 2023, Titus voted against the No Funds for Iranian Terrorism Act and was the sole “No” vote from the Nevada congressional delegation. She also voted against immediately freezing all Iranian assets, voting with her Nevada Democratic colleagues against aiding Israel as the legislation contained cutting the bloated budget of the IRS.
In 2015, Titus voted in favor of lifting sanctions on Iran in exchange for restriction on expanding Iran’s nuclear program. In 2018, President Trump withdrew the United States from the deal claiming it failed to curtail Iran’s missile program and regional influence.
