Bill Analysis
Bill Summary: HR 5961 - No Funds for Iranian Terrorism Act
The No Funds for Iranian Terrorism Act (HR 5961) aims to restrict U.S. financial support to entities that could potentially benefit the Iranian government, particularly in relation to its support for terrorism. The bill explicitly prohibits the use of federal funds for any program or activity that could indirectly or directly finance Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) or any other Iranian entity designated as a terrorist organization by the U.S. Department of State.
Funding and Authorities:
The legislation seeks to ensure that no appropriated federal funds are allocated to programs that could provide financial assistance to Iran or its affiliates. This includes a prohibition on funding for international organizations, NGOs, or any foreign assistance programs that may inadvertently support Iranian terrorism.
Programs or Agencies Affected:
The bill impacts several federal agencies involved in foreign aid and international relations, including the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) and the Department of State. It mandates a thorough review of existing funding mechanisms to ensure compliance with the new restrictions.
Beneficiaries and Regulation:
The primary beneficiaries of this legislation are U.S. national security interests and allies in the region who are threatened by Iranian aggression. The bill aims to protect American interests by limiting financial resources available to Iran’s military and terrorist operations. Additionally, it regulates the activities of international organizations to ensure they do not engage with Iranian entities.
Key Timelines:
As of the latest action, HR 5961 has been received in the Senate, read twice, and referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations. The timeline for further consideration and potential amendments or voting remains contingent on the committee’s schedule and legislative priorities.
Overall, HR 5961 represents a legislative effort to tighten financial controls related to Iran, reinforcing U.S. policy against terrorism and enhancing national security.
