Iran Freedom and Support Act
The Iran Freedom Support Act (, 120 Stat. 1344, , enacted September 30, 2006) is an Act of Congress that appropriated $10 million and directed the President of the United States to spend that money in support of "pro-democracy groups" opposed to the Iranian government. Opponents claimed the bill was a first step towards a US-led invasion of the country. In response to the passage of the bill, President George W. Bush lauded the Congress "for demonstrating its bipartisan commitment to confronting the Iranian regime's repressive and destabilizing activities." Possible recipients of money
American authorities have refused to announce the names of groups that have received money under this act, and no group has officially acknowledged this either. Reaction
Following introduction of the bill in the Senate, Iran responded "those who draft such plans lag behind the times, they live in their daydreams." References
