Summary
The IRAN Act makes the Secretary of State the lead official for coordinating U.S. efforts to expand internet access and digital‑security tools in Iran. It requires the FCC to prohibit new licenses from disabling satellite or direct‑to‑cell coverage over Iran and orders the State Department to provide training, VPNs and other safety tools to Iranian journalists and civil‑society actors. The goal is to counter Iranian government shutdowns without violating U.S. sanctions.
