What this bill would do

This bill, titled the Maximum Pressure Act, aims to impose and tighten economic and diplomatic sanctions on Iran and its leadership. It codifies existing executive orders and restricts the President's ability to lift sanctions or issue certain waivers without strict congressional review. The legislation targets Iran's nuclear and ballistic missile programs, its shipping and financial sectors, and its support for terrorist proxy groups like Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis. It also requires multiple federal reports on Iranian assets, human rights abuses, and counterintelligence threats. Finally, the bill repurposes certain frozen Iranian funds to support the United States Victims of State Sponsored Terrorism Fund and creates a fund to assist Iranian civil society and striking workers.
