Tehran Incitement to Violence Act
Iran: Sanctions for Threats Against U.S. and Israeli Leaders
This bill is currently moving through the House committee process. It recently passed a committee vote and is now waiting for further action. It is actively moving forward.
Legislative Progress
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.
