A federal budget proposal released by the House’s largest Republican caucus on Wednesday "would implement the toughest package of sanctions on Iran ever proposed by Congress" and eradicate funding for "all woke programs and priorities in the military," according to a copy of the fiscal package provided to the Washington Free Beacon.

The Republican Study Committee (RSC), which is spearheading the $895.2 billion defense spending proposal, says its vision was sculpted with the recognition "that President Biden has failed as commander-in-chief." It takes aim at millions of dollars in military spending on "woke" cultural priorities, including climate initiatives and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) training.

The Washington Free Beacon reports further that the budget also focuses heavily on Iran, touting the most comprehensive set of sanctions in recent memory, and would block the Biden administration from using any federal funds to conduct diplomacy with Tehran over a revamped version of the 2015 nuclear deal. 

It also would codify a Trump administration-era order designating Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps as a foreign terrorist organization, further complicating the administration’s efforts to ease pressure on Tehran.

The budget package highlights glaring gaps between the Biden administration and congressional Republicans when it comes to defense spending and military priorities. 

It is likely to garner widespread traction in the narrowly GOP-controlled House, setting up a fiscal showdown between the White House and Republicans as Congress works to fund the government through the next year.
