Шаблон:Infobox U.S. legislation The Iran Freedom Support Act (Шаблон:USPL, 120 Stat. 1344, Шаблон:USBill, 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.[1] Opponents claimed the bill was a first step towards a US-led invasion of the country.[2][3]

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."[4]

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.[5]

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."[6]
