White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said there was a lot of internal division in Iran, adding the United States is completely strangling Iran’s economy through the blockade of its ports.

Senate Republicans voted on Thursday morning, following an overnight marathon session, to approve a budget measure that would fund Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection, without Democratic support.
