Reaffirming Iran remains the largest state sponsor of terrorism.

H.Res. 1099 is a non-binding resolution passed by the House that would formally declare it as U.S. policy that Iran continues to be the largest state sponsor of terrorism. Non-binding resolutions express the sense of Congress on a particular issue but do not create new laws or directly change government operations. This resolution would serve as a statement of congressional position regarding Iran's role in supporting terrorist organizations and activities in the Middle East and beyond.

The resolution was introduced on March 4, 2026, by Representative Brian Mast (R-FL) and has already passed the House. It now moves to the Senate for consideration and a vote. If the Senate passes it, the resolution would reinforce the official U.S. government stance on Iran's designation as a state sponsor of terrorism.

For everyday citizens, this resolution would have limited direct practical impact since it is non-binding and does not create new laws or sanctions. However, it would represent a formal congressional reaffirmation of U.S. policy toward Iran and could influence the tone and direction of future foreign policy decisions regarding Iran and Middle Eastern affairs. The resolution reflects ongoing congressional concern about Iran's alleged support for terrorist groups and activities in the region.
