Summary

Orders the President to impose terrorism-related sanctions on the Popular Resistance Committees (PRC) and people tied to it. Within 90 days, U.S. authorities must block their assets in the United States and bar their entry or revoke visas, with penalties for violations. It also requires the State Department to evaluate and report to Congress whether PRC and a group called Lion’s Den meet U.S. standards for terrorist designation and whether related entities should be sanctioned, with ongoing updates. Narrow exceptions apply for U.S. obligations to the United Nations headquarters and for authorized U.S. intelligence, law‑enforcement, or national security activities.
