Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Robert Menendez (D-NJ) speaks to the media after the Senate passed the immigration bill on Capitol Hill in Washington June 27, 2013.
Democratic Senators Robert Menendez, the chair of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations and Charles Schumer, and Republican Senator Mark Kirk introduced with 23 others the bill that would choke funding to Iran's nuclear program by cutting off its oil sales.
The bill faces an uncertain path as the Obama administration has pushed the Senate to hold off introducing another Iran sanctions bill similar to one the House of Representatives passed in July.
