Bill > HR2581

This bill requires the Secretary of State to designate 29 specific military and militant organizations, including groups like the Houthis, Badr Organization, and several Iranian-affiliated brigades, as foreign terrorist organizations (FTOs) within 90 days of the bill's enactment. An FTO designation is a legal classification that allows the U.S. government to impose significant restrictions on these groups. Additionally, the bill mandates that the President determine whether to impose sanctions on these organizations within 60 days, specifically using the sanctions outlined in Executive Order 13224, which allows for blocking financial transactions and assets. The bill also requires the Secretary of State to submit a report to Congress every 180 days identifying any new entities that might qualify as foreign terrorist organizations or be subject to sanctions. Furthermore, the President must report to Congress within 60 days of making a determination about sanctions, providing a detailed explanation if any of the listed organizations are not sanctioned. The bill is titled the "Iranian Terror Prevention Act" and appears to primarily target Iranian-affiliated militant groups operating in the Middle East.
