HR 5945 United States House · 118th Congress

Freezing HAMAS Act

This bill, titled "Freezing HAMAS Act" (though it concerns Iran sanctions, not Hamas), reinstates U.S. sanctions on Iran that were previously waived or suspended under agreements with Iran. It specifically targets sanctions from the 2012 Iran Freedom and Counter-Proliferation Act and the 2012 National Defense Authorization Act, including a September 2023 waiver related to fund transfers. The bill prohibits the U.S. government from releasing funds or assets to Iran or granting further waivers related to these sanctions. It directly affects U.S. government actions regarding Iran financial transactions and enforcement of existing sanctions.
