Who this affects: This bill mainly affects people in Iran who face internet shutdowns or censorship, Iranian officials and state-linked business networks, and foreign people or companies that may help Iran repress or monitor others. It also affects U.S. agencies that would have to run new programs, write reports, and carry out investigations.

Why this matters: This bill matters because it tries to help people in Iran stay connected and because it tries to make it harder for powerful Iranian figures to hide money tied to corruption or abuse. If it works, it could improve access to outside information and give the U.S. more ways to track assets, pressure helpers of censorship, and support journalists. But some results are uncertain because governments can adapt, some parts of the bill are only statements of policy, and the real effect will depend on follow-through by agencies and partners.

Key provisions in H.R. 7622

• The bill would widen an existing Iran internet freedom report. It would add direct-to-cell technology, the effects of drones and signal jamming, and a detailed review of Iran’s telecom companies and who owns them.
• The Iran Internet Freedom Grant Program would keep going. The bill would approve $30 million each year from fiscal years 2027 through 2030 for projects that help people in Iran reach an open internet.
• The Defense Innovation Unit would have to build, test, and help roll out tools to get around internet shutdowns in Iran. Those tools could include satellite internet, mesh networks, portable systems, and VPNs, which are virtual private networks.
• The bill would approve $2 million a year from fiscal years 2027 through 2030 for the Defense Innovation Unit’s Iran internet access work. That money is separate from the larger grant program.
• The Treasury Secretary would have to send Congress a report within 180 days. Using input from U.S. intelligence agencies and the State Department, the report would cover senior Iranian political figures, oligarchs, large state-linked entities, their ties to the U.S. and allied economies, and the likely effect of added sanctions or financial limits.
