BANNED in Latin America Act

This bill requires the Secretary of State to develop and submit a comprehensive strategy within 180 days to counter Iranian and Hezbollah influence operations across Latin America. This strategy aims to combat their propaganda, missionary networks, and cultural centers that promote Iranian ideology. Key provisions of the strategy include measures to limit the operations of Iranian cultural centers , restrict the travel and activities of Iranian emissaries through visa denials and sanctions, and strengthen U.S. intelligence capabilities to identify and disrupt these networks. It also mandates actions to disrupt media platforms like Iran's HispanTV and Hezbollah's Al Mayadeen Espanol, similar to those taken against Al-Manar and Press TV. Furthermore, the strategy requires a plan to address Iran's Al Mustafa International University network, potentially designating affiliated entities as foreign terrorist organizations due to their role in radicalization and recruitment.
