Congress is now considering two pieces of legislation that will limit
the Iranian regime's ability to crack down on freedom of speech within
Iran.
This is a great opportunity. Empowering the Iranian people must be a vital part of the American strategy to deal with the threat posed by Iran to Israel and to key American national security interests.

Here's a bit of background on these two bills:
-- HR 4301 - the Iran Digital Enhancement Act (IDEA) - would help give the Iranian people the high-tech tools they need to communicate online. It would also make it harder for the Iranian government to monitor or block Internet communications.
-- HR 4303 - the Stand with the Iranian People Act (SWIPA) - would punish corporations that help the Iranian government stifle free speech. It would also allow American non-profits to provide humanitarian aid within Iran. And it would bar Iranian officials who have abused the human rights of the Iranian public from entering the United States.
Iran poses a threat to Israel and to America. Sanctions like these - that target the Iranian regime (and not the Iranian public) - should be one element of a broad U.S. policy that includes engagement.
Now is the time for action. What happens in Iran can have broad ramifications for Israel and for the future of the Arab-Israeli peace process.
