Requires a U.S. plan to counter Iran's influence in Iraq and bans aid to related groups.
This bill would require the U.S. government to create a detailed plan to push back against Iran's influence and its allied militias in Iraq. It would also stop U.S. money from going to these militias and the Iraqi government unless certain conditions are met. This aims to support the Iraqi people and strengthen democracy.
Today, there is no specific law requiring a U.S. government strategy to counter Iran's influence in Iraq, nor are the listed militias automatically designated as foreign terrorist organizations. The U.S. can provide security assistance to Iraq, and Iraq can import liquefied natural gas from Iran. If this bill passes, the U.S. would be required to create a strategy, designate specific militias as terrorist groups within 90 days, and generally stop funding the Iraqi government and these militias. Iraq would also be banned from importing liquefied natural gas from Iran.
