Iranian Terror Prevention Act

Summary

Requires the Secretary of State to designate 30 named foreign groups as foreign terrorist organizations (FTOs) within 90 days of enactment and asks the President to decide within 60 days whether to impose sanctions under Executive Order 13224 on those groups and their affiliates. It also mandates periodic reporting to Congress — a 60‑day explanation if sanctions are not imposed and regular 180‑day reports on any new entities that meet FTO or E.O. 13224 criteria.
