“Enhance Cooperation Against Terrorism Act
This bill streamlines U.S. defense sales to Middle Eastern countries that have normalized relations with Israel and cooperate with the U.S. against Iran-aligned threats. It allows the Secretary of State to identify qualifying countries and expedite approvals for defense exports through simplified congressional certification, while requiring safeguards to prevent sensitive technology from reaching China or Russia. The law mandates regular strategy reports to Congress detailing Iran-related security threats, cooperation metrics, interoperability challenges, and pending defense sales over $25 million. These reports must include delivery timelines for major sales and recommendations to improve the defense export process.
