Iran Sanctions Enforcement: Funding Seizures and Reducing US Public Debt.
This law establishes a dedicated fund to finance law enforcement efforts aimed at seizing assets and property linked to violations of US sanctions by Iran and its proxies, such as Hamas or Hezbollah. The goal is to disrupt terrorist financing and enhance national security. Crucially for citizens, any surplus funds exceeding $500 million will be directed toward paying down the United States public debt.
Key points
Creation of the Iran Sanctions Enforcement Fund (ISEF) to cover costs related to investigations and forfeitures of property funding Iranian proxies and activities against US citizens.
Funds recovered from seizures that exceed $500 million will be transferred to the Treasury to reduce the US public debt, providing an indirect financial benefit.
Formal codification of the Export Enforcement Coordination Center (EECC) to improve federal agency cooperation on export control enforcement and prevent illegal trade.
