Block the Use of Transatlantic Technology in Iranian Made Drones Act
Requires Commerce, State, and Defense to develop plans blocking Iran's access to drone technologies.
Tradeoff
No budget impact or offsetting provision. The bill mandates three federal agencies to develop export-control and military strategies within 30 to 90 days.
What's in it
Costs less than $500,000 over the 2025-2030 period.
The $500,000 or less is just the federal cost to develop strategies and report on them — the policy's real impact is the restrictions placed on technology transfer to Iran, with compliance falling on U.S. exporters and companies dealing in transatlantic technology.
