Rep. Don Bacon (R-NE) introduces H.R.857, the Iranian Arms Transfer Prevention Act of 2021

Rep. Don Bacon (R-NE) introduced H.R.857, the Iranian  Arms Transfer Prevention Act of 2021, to the House thereafter referred to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs, the Judiciary, and to the Subcommittee on Immigration and Citizenship. This bill requires the President to impose certain property- and visa-blocking sanctions on those determined to be involved in arms transfers to or from Iran. The bill holds that it is the “policy of the United States to counter Iran’s malign influence in the Middle East and that Chinese and Russian arms transfers to Iran are a threat to the US and the regional national security of its allies in the Middle East”.
