The House passed the 21st Century Peace through Strength Act with a bipartisan vote of 360-58.
The bill includes national security priorities, including sanctions on Iran, the seizure of frozen Russian sovereign assets and a measure that could lead to a nationwide ban of TikTok.
Here's what the bill would do:
- Place sanctions on ports and refineries that receive and process Iranian oil.
- Place sanctions on anyone involved in activity covered under the UN missile embargo on Iran that lapsed last year or in the supply or sale of Iran’s missiles and drones.
- Further restrict the export of goods and technology of US origin to Iran.
- Empower the executive branch to seize and transfer frozen Russian assets held in the US to Ukraine.
- Give TikTok's Chinese parent, ByteDance, nine months to sell the social media company or it would be banned from US app stores.
Remember: The House is also voting on three separate bills to provide foreign aid to Ukraine, Israel and the Indo-Pacific region. If the bills pass the House, the legislation will be combined into one amendment before being sent to the Senate.
