Senate banking panel to vote on Iran sanctions February 2

(Reuters) The Senate Banking Committee expects to vote on Thursday, February 2 on legislation containing more sanctions on Iran, the panel announced on Friday.

Lawmakers want to strengthen the economic chokehold on Iran to discourage Tehran from seeking to build a nuclear bomb. The panel's announcement gave no details of the upcoming legislation, saying these would be released next week.
