Iran Sanctions Enforcement Fund: Asset Seizure and Public Debt Reduction.

This law establishes a dedicated Iran Sanctions Enforcement Fund, financed by assets seized from Iran and its proxies (including terrorist groups), to strengthen the enforcement of US sanctions. The primary goal is to cut off funding for international terrorism and enhance national security. Crucially for citizens, any surplus money in the fund exceeding $500 million annually will be used to pay down the US public debt.
Key points
Creates the Iran Sanctions Enforcement Fund to finance investigations and seizures of property (like oil) linked to Iran and groups such as Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis.
Financial surpluses from these seizures, exceeding $500 million annually, will be automatically transferred to reduce the United States public debt.
Formally establishes the Export Enforcement Coordination Center to improve cooperation among federal agencies enforcing export controls and sanctions.
