SEIZE Act
This bill allows the U.S. President to treat weapons seized while in transit from Iran to Houthi forces in Yemen as U.S. military stocks. It authorizes the President to provide these seized weapons to foreign partners through existing military aid programs. The bill requires the President to report annually to Congress on how often this authority was used, the inventory of seized weapons held as U.S. stocks, and weapons provided to partners. This directly affects U.S. military resource management and foreign aid decisions, with transparency requirements for Congress. The bill does not change current sanctions or create new restrictions on Iran.
