Bill Analysis

Bill Summary: HR 5961 - No Funds for Iranian Terrorism Act

The No Funds for Iranian Terrorism Act (HR 5961) aims to prohibit the use of U.S. federal funds for any activities that could support or facilitate terrorism by the Iranian government or its affiliates. This legislation is a response to ongoing concerns regarding Iran’s involvement in global terrorism and its destabilizing influence in the Middle East.

Key Provisions:

  • The bill explicitly prohibits the allocation of federal funds to any agency or program that could be used to support the Iranian government, including its military or paramilitary operations.
  • It mandates that the Secretary of State, in consultation with the Secretary of the Treasury, must provide a report to Congress detailing any federal funds that may inadvertently benefit Iranian entities or support terrorism.

Funding and Authorities:

  • The bill does not authorize new funding but restricts existing federal funds from being allocated to activities that could indirectly support Iranian terrorism.
  • It reinforces existing sanctions against Iran, aligning with previous legislative efforts to curb Iranian influence and support for terrorist organizations.

Agencies Affected:

  • The primary agencies impacted include the Department of State and the Department of the Treasury, which are responsible for foreign policy and financial sanctions, respectively.
  • Additionally, the bill may affect various federal programs that engage with foreign governments or provide international aid.

Beneficiaries and Regulation:

  • The legislation is designed to protect U.S. national security interests and allies in the region, particularly those directly threatened by Iranian-sponsored terrorism.
  • It aims to ensure that taxpayer dollars are not used to support regimes that engage in or promote terrorist activities.

Key Timelines:

  • The bill was introduced in the House and has been received in the Senate, where it has been read twice and referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations for further consideration. The timeline for further action remains uncertain as it awaits committee review and potential amendments.

This act underscores a continued commitment to countering terrorism and holding Iran accountable for its actions on the global stage.
