Rep. Schneider (D-IL10) Introduces H.R.7850

On July 29, Rep. Brad Schneider (D-IL10) introduced a bill to require a National Intelligence Estimate on Iranian proxy forces. The bill calls for the Director of National Intelligence to produce a report detailing Iran’s support for Hezbollah and other Iranian proxies in the Middle East, also including how these proxies pose a threat to Israel. After the report is completed, the bill requires the President submit a strategy to Congress on how to counter Iranian proxy forces. The bill was referred to the Committee on Intelligence and the Committee on Foreign Affairs.
