No Technology for Terror Act

HR 6603, the No Technology for Terror Act, requires export licenses for certain foreign-made items destined for Iran if they were produced using U.S. technology or equipment. Specifically, it targets foreign goods that are direct products of U.S.-origin technology (as defined by the Commerce Control List) and are sent to Iran or used in Iran’s production of controlled items. The law applies to exporters of technology, equipment, or components but includes limited exceptions for food, medicine, and communications services. It expands existing U.S. export control rules to cover foreign-produced items made with U.S. technology, effective 120 days after enactment. The bill does not address terrorism directly but aims to restrict technology transfers to Iran under existing export frameworks.
