Free Iranian Communications Bill

In light of the use of communication jamming equipment by the Islamic Republic of Iran to quell peaceful demonstrations against fraudulent elections, the Senate hereby authorizes the Secretary of External Affairs to discontinue all trade, subsidies, purchases and other economic relations with any company that continues to provide such equipment to the current Iranian regime immediately, at the discretion of the SoEA.

Tough one this. Use is not quite the same as provision, but it effectively targets those who provide, through contract or sale, to the regime rather than companies who unwittingly find the regime is using their software.

So I support this.

Exactly. This is meant to stop the sales of such devices. What happens on the black market can't (always) be used to hold them accountable.

I'm happy that the first bill I sign is a common sense piece of legislation like this, that will hopefully help to support the spread of liberty and the rule of law in the nation of Iran.
