House lawmakers passed multiple pieces of legislation focused on penalizing Iran following its attack on Israel last weekend.
The measures passed include:
- A resolution declaring the slogan “from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free’’ is “outrightly antisemitic and must be strongly condemned.”
- The Holding Iranian Leaders Accountable Act, which would require a report on the financial holdings of senior Iranian officials.
- The Iran Sanctions Accountability Act, aimed at preventing the evasion of sanctions against Iran.
- The Strengthening Tools to Counter the Use of Human Shields Act, which would impose sanctions on entities that use civilians as human shields.
- The Illicit Captagon Trafficking Suppression Act, which would impose sanctions on entities that produce or facilitate distribution of a synthetic stimulant named Captagon.
- The No Technology for Terror Act, which would permanently bar the export of U.S.-made technology to Iran.
- The No Paydays to Hostage Takers Act, which would bar U.S. admittance of sanctioned officials for United Nations meetings.
- The Solidify Iran Sanctions Act, which would make permanent certain sanctions on Iran.
- A resolution urging the European Union to “expeditiously” declare the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps a terrorist organization
There is no indication yet that the Senate will act on any of the measures.
