Bill > HR4531

This bill requires the Secretary of State to develop a comprehensive strategy within 180 days to counter Iranian and Hezbollah influence operations in Latin America. The strategy must include several key components: measures to address Iranian cultural centers in the region by limiting their operations and exposing their activities, actions to restrict travel and activities of Iranian emissaries through visa denials and sanctions, initiatives to strengthen U.S. intelligence agencies' ability to identify and disrupt Iranian and Hezbollah networks, a framework for disrupting Iranian and Hezbollah media platforms similar to previous actions against other propaganda outlets, and a plan to address Iran's Al Mustafa International University network, potentially designating its affiliated entities as terrorist organizations. The strategy must be submitted to the House Foreign Affairs Committee and Senate Foreign Relations Committee in an unclassified format, with the option of including a classified annex. The bill aims to reduce the ideological and operational reach of Iran and Hezbollah in Latin America by targeting their cultural, diplomatic, media, and educational networks through diplomatic, intelligence, and potential legal measures.
