Maximum Support Act
HR 2614, the "Maximum Support Act," directs the U.S. government to establish an interagency task force focused on supporting internet freedom in Iran. Key provisions include developing a strategy for secure VPN services, satellite-to-cell technology, and countermeasures against Iranian censorship, while also requiring a plan to ensure U.S. sanctions don't block internet access tools for Iranian citizens. The bill mandates confiscating Iranian government assets to fund support for democratic transition efforts, including humanitarian aid, documentation of human rights abuses, and nonviolent opposition activities. It further requires strategies for diplomatic engagement, intelligence support for Iranian dissidents, and designating Iran's Ministry of Intelligence as a Foreign Terrorist Organization.
