This rogue regime poses one of the greatest threats to our nation and allies. These two bills help stop the flow of funds to Iran - known as the foremost sponsor of terrorism and a habitual money launderer. We will continue to assess how we can change laws to block money used to finance terrorism. Through the Iranian Leadership Asset Transparency Act, we also expand awareness of the corruption of the Iranian Mullahs and Military. Clickhereto watch Rep.

The Strengthening Oversight of Iran's Access to Finance Act,H.R. 4324, requires the Treasury Secretary to submit a report to Congress regarding financial transactions authorized in connection with commercial passenger aircrafts sales to Iran. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
