HR 2658 United States House · 119th Congress

Free Iraq from Iran Act

The Free Iraq from Iran Act requires the U.S. government to develop a strategy within 180 days to counter Iran's influence in Iraq, focusing on dismantling Iran-backed militias like the Popular Mobilization Forces and removing them from Iraq's government roles. It designates 11 specific Iran-aligned groups as foreign terrorist organizations, bans all U.S. funding to these groups and their members, and prohibits U.S. security assistance to Iraq's federal government unless Iraq meets strict conditions (e.g., ending militia control of ministries). The bill also mandates sanctions on Iranian agents in Iraq - including named Iraqi officials - and bans Iraq from importing Iranian liquefied natural gas. This legislation directly shapes U.S. foreign policy toward Iraq, with key provisions targeting Iran's military and political influence through aid restrictions, sanctions, and strategic coordination.
