HR 2505 United States House · 119th Congress

Block the Use of Transatlantic Technology in Iranian Made Drones Act

This bill requires the Commerce and State Departments to develop strategies preventing U.S. and allied technology exports to Iran for drone production. It specifically targets microchips, GPS modules, and other critical components (like microcontrollers and voltage regulators) used in Iranian drones that have been linked to attacks in Ukraine and against Israel via groups like Hamas. The strategy must identify U.S. and foreign manufacturers, track third-party distributors circumventing controls, and coordinate with allies to block these exports. It directly affects U.S. technology companies, global distributors, and foreign partners whose exports could enable Iran's drone program. The bill aims to disrupt technology flows supporting Iranian drones used in conflicts without making speculative claims about outcomes.
