Next up: The Senate

The House passed this bill in June 2026 and sent it to the Senate. It is now waiting for the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations to take action. Since June 2026, no further progress has occurred, and it is common for the Senate to not schedule bills that pass the House.

Law

Unlikely to pass

While there is strong support for sanctioning Iran, bills targeting specific foreign individuals often stall because the executive branch already has the power to issue these sanctions.

Key Points

This bill targets 18 Iranian religious leaders and government organizations that have called for the assassination of Trump and Netanyahu.
It requires the State Department and Treasury Department to decide within 90 days if these people and groups should be officially labeled as global terrorists.
The list includes high-ranking clerics, the Qom Seminary, and the council that chooses Iran's Supreme Leader, many of whom are linked to the Iranian military.
The bill was written because these leaders have issued religious decrees that encourage violence and have reportedly tried to raise 20 million dollars for attacks.
If these people are labeled as terrorists, they will be blocked from using the U.S. banking system, and any property they own in the U.S. will be frozen.
