The "Tehran Incitement to Violence Act" proposes to identify and potentially designate certain individuals and entities as specially designated global terrorists . This legislative action is driven by findings that several Iranian clerics and state-linked institutions have incited violence and issued fatwas calling for the assassination of U.S. President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Examples include Abdolmajid Kharghani's alleged online fundraising campaign for these assassinations and various religious figures charging leaders with crimes like Moharebeh, which invite violence under Islamic Law. The bill mandates the Secretary of State, with the concurrence of the Secretary of the Treasury, to periodically determine if a specified list of individuals and organizations meet the criteria for designation. This list includes prominent clerics such as Ayatollah Naser Makarem-Shirazi, Alireza Panahian, and institutions like the Qom Seminary and the Assembly of Experts. The criteria for designation encompass various Executive Orders related to blocking property and prohibiting transactions with terrorists, as well as imposing sanctions concerning Iran's conventional arms, human rights abuses, and financial activities. The overarching purpose is to address these incitements to violence which are deemed to imperil the national security of the United States and Israel.
