---|
4635 | | - | OFFICE, ITS APPOINTEES, AND ANY AFFILIATED PERSONS. |
---|
4636 | | - | (a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds the following: |
---|
4637 | | - | (1) The Supreme Leader is an institution of the Islamic |
---|
4638 | | - | Republic of Iran. |
---|
4639 | | - | (2) The Supreme Leader holds ultimate authority over |
---|
4640 | | - | Iran’s judiciary and security apparatus, including the Ministry |
---|
4641 | | - | of Intelligence and Security, law enforcement forces under the |
---|
4642 | | - | Interior Ministry, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps |
---|
4643 | | - | (IRGC), and the Basij, a nationwide volunteer paramilitary |
---|
4644 | | - | group subordinate to the IRGC, all of which have engaged |
---|
4645 | | - | in human rights abuses in Iran. Additionally the IRGC, a |
---|
4646 | | - | United States designated Foreign Terrorist Organization, which |
---|
4647 | | - | reports to the Supreme Leader, continues to perpetrate ter- |
---|
4648 | | - | rorism around the globe, including attempts to kill and kidnap |

---|

---|

---|

---|
4654 | | - | (4) The revolutionary courts, created by Iran’s former |
---|
4655 | | - | Supreme Leader Ruhollah Khomeini, within Iran’s judiciary, |
---|
4656 | | - | are chiefly responsible for hearing cases of political offenses, |
---|
4657 | | - | operate in parallel to Iran’s criminal justice system and rou- |
---|
4658 | | - | tinely hold grossly unfair trials without due process, handing |
---|
4659 | | - | down predetermined verdicts and rubberstamping executions |
---|
4660 | | - | for political purpose. |
---|
4661 | | - | (5) The Iranian security and law enforcement forces engage |
---|
4662 | | - | in serious human rights abuse at the behest of the Supreme |
---|
4663 | | - | Leader. H. R. 815—83 |
---|
4664 | | - | (6) Iran’s President, Ebrahim Raisi, sits at the helm of |
---|
4665 | | - | the most sanctioned cabinet in Iranian history which includes |
---|
4666 | | - | internationally sanctioned rights violators. Raisi has supported |
---|
4667 | | - | the recent crackdown on protestors and is a rights violator |
---|
4668 | | - | himself, having served on a ‘‘death commission’’ in 1988 that |
---|
4669 | | - | led to the execution of several thousand political prisoners |
---|
4670 | | - | in Iran. He most recently served as the head of Iran’s judiciary, |
---|
4671 | | - | a position appointed by Iran’s current Supreme Leader Ali |
---|
4672 | | - | Khamenei, and may likely be a potential candidate to replace |

---|
4677 | | - | dress codes for women. This tragic incident triggered wide- |
---|
4678 | | - | spread, pro-women’s rights, pro-democracy protests across all |
---|
4679 | | - | of Iran’s 31 provinces, calling for the end to Iran’s theocratic |
---|
4680 | | - | regime. |
---|
4681 | | - | (8) In the course of the protests, the Iranian security forces’ |
---|
4682 | | - | violent crackdown includes mass arrests, well documented |
---|
4683 | | - | beating of protestors, throttling of the internet and tele- |
---|
4684 | | - | communications services, and shooting protestors with live |
---|
4685 | | - | ammunition. Iranian security forces have reportedly killed hun- |
---|
4686 | | - | dreds of protestors and other civilians, including women and |
---|
4687 | | - | children, and wounded many more. |
---|
4688 | | - | (9) Iran’s Supreme Leader is the leader of the ‘‘Axis of |
---|
4689 | | - | Resistance’’, which is a network of Tehran’s terror proxy and |
---|
4690 | | - | partner militias materially supported by the Islamic Revolu- |
---|
4691 | | - | tionary Guard Corps that targets the United States as well |

---|
5897 | | - | Accountable Act of 2024’’. |
---|
5898 | | - | SEC. 2. FINDINGS. |
---|
5899 | | - | The Congress finds the following: |
---|
5900 | | - | (1) Iran is characterized by high levels of official and |
---|
5901 | | - | institutional corruption, and substantial involvement by Iran’s |
---|
5902 | | - | security forces, particularly the Islamic Revolutionary Guard |
---|
5903 | | - | Corps (IRGC), in the economy. |
---|
5904 | | - | (2) The Department of Treasury in 2019 designated the |
---|
5905 | | - | Islamic Republic of Iran’s financial sector as a jurisdiction |
---|
5906 | | - | of primary money laundering concern, concluding, ‘‘Iran has |
---|
5907 | | - | developed covert methods for accessing the international finan- |
---|
5908 | | - | cial system and pursuing its malign activities, including mis- |
---|
5909 | | - | using banks and exchange houses, operating procurement net- |
---|
5910 | | - | works that utilize front or shell companies, exploiting commer- |
---|
5911 | | - | cial shipping, and masking illicit transactions using senior offi- |
---|
5912 | | - | cials, including those at the Central Bank of Iran (CBI).’’. H. R. 815—104 |
---|
5913 | | - | (3) In June 2019, the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) |
---|
5914 | | - | urged all jurisdictions to require increased supervisory exam- |
---|
5915 | | - | ination for branches and subsidiaries of financial institutions |
---|
5916 | | - | based in Iran. The FATF later called upon its members to |
---|
5917 | | - | introduce enhanced relevant reporting mechanisms or system- |
---|
5918 | | - | atic reporting of financial transactions, and require increased |
---|
5919 | | - | external audit requirements, for financial groups with respect |
---|
5920 | | - | to any of their branches and subsidiaries located in Iran. |
---|
5921 | | - | (4) According to the State Department’s ‘‘Country Reports |
---|
5922 | | - | on Terrorism’’ in 2021, ‘‘Iran continued to be the leading state |
---|
5923 | | - | sponsor of terrorism, facilitating a wide range of terrorist and |
---|
5924 | | - | other illicit activities around the world. Regionally, Iran sup- |
---|
5925 | | - | ported acts of terrorism in Bahrain, Iraq, Lebanon, Syria, and |
---|
5926 | | - | Yemen through proxies and partner groups such as Hizballah |
---|
5927 | | - | and Hamas.’’. |
