What this bill would do
The Tehran Incitement to Violence Act aims to designate certain individuals and organizations as targets for sanctions. This action follows findings regarding religious fatwas and statements that incite violence against U.S. President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The bill directs the President to determine if specific foreign persons meet the criteria for sanctions based on their role in amplifying these threats. If determined, sanctions would include blocking property and revoking visas. The act seeks to address threats to national security posed by these incitements.
