HR 1809 United States House · 118th Congress

Block the Use of Transatlantic Technology in Iranian Made Drones Act

HR 1809 requires the U.S. Commerce Secretary to develop a strategy preventing U.S. exports of specific microelectronics (like microcontrollers, GPS modules, and circuit boards) to Iran for use in drone production. It also directs the State Department to coordinate with European and Asian allies to block similar technology transfers to Iran. The bill targets dual-use components that have been found in Iranian drones used by Russia in Ukraine, aiming to stop these technologies from supporting Iran's drone industry. This policy directly affects U.S. manufacturers of these components, their distributors, and international partners involved in exporting such technology to Iran.
