Allyship Act
HR 6865, the "Allyship Act," requires the President to develop a detailed strategy toward Iran within 60 days, focusing on countering security threats, supporting Iranian human rights, improving internet access, and using frozen Iranian assets for Iranian citizens. It mandates targeted sanctions against Iranian officials involved in suppressing protests or restricting information, and establishes a $6,000 annual transfer mechanism for U.S. persons to send money to Iranians (excluding those sanctioned or working for Iranian authorities). The bill also creates a parole process for victims of political persecution in Iran and appoints a senior advisor to coordinate U.S. support for unjustly imprisoned Iranians and their families. These provisions directly affect U.S. policy implementation toward Iran and Iranian citizens seeking assistance.
