SEIZE Act of 2025

The Seized Iranian Arms Transfer Authorization Act of 2025, or the SEIZE Act of 2025 , authorizes the President to treat weapons and materiel intercepted while in transit from the Islamic Republic of Iran to the Houthis in Yemen as stocks of the United States . This legislation amends the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, granting the President new drawdown authority to provide these seized items directly to foreign partners . The intent is to repurpose illicit arms shipments to support U.S. allies and counter destabilizing activities. Additionally, the Act mandates annual reports to Congress, detailing the exercise of this authority, including inventories of both the seized items treated as U.S. stocks and those subsequently provided to foreign partners.
