What is the Maximum Support Act? 
The Maximum Support Act is bipartisan U.S. legislation designed to provide direct support to the Iranian people in their quest for democracy, human rights, and a free society. It emphasizes internet freedom, strategic support for democratic change, and targeted sanctions that prioritize regime officials over civilians. It insists on Iranians’ rights to choose their own, post-Islamic Republic form of government.
Key Provisions:
•	A Maximum Support Strategy: Mandates a White House strategy detailing steps to provide Maximum Support to the Iranian people, including: 
o	Establishing a Special Representative for Maximum Support
o	Providing cyber support to Iranian protesters
o	Reforming how the U.S. Agency for Global Media informs Iranians and counters regime propaganda
•	Internet Freedom Initiatives: Establishes an interagency task force dedicated to enhancing secure internet access through advanced VPN services, innovative satellite-to-cell technology, eSIM distribution, robust anti-surveillance tools, cybersecurity software, and rapid response to cyber threats against dissidents.
•	Asset Confiscation and Redistribution: Confiscates regime assets under U.S. jurisdiction, redirecting funds to support nonviolent democratic movements (such as Iranians engaged in labor strikes), humanitarian assistance, documentation of human rights abuses. This process includes robust oversight to prevent regime benefit.
•	Strategic Defection Support: Calls for a comprehensive strategy aimed at facilitating secure communications, ensuring safety for defectors, and establishing an interagency working group tasked with managing defections and verifying the information provided by defectors.
•	Iran’s Ministry of Intelligence (MOIS) Terrorist Designation Assessment: Mandates a formal and comprehensive review by the State Department, Treasury, and Attorney General to determine whether the MOIS meets criteria for designation as a Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO), enhancing global enforcement against the Islamic Republic’s terrorist operations.

Why Now?
The regime in Iran is at its weakest point in decades due to ongoing internal protests, setbacks experienced by its proxies like Hezbollah and the Houthis, and the resurgence of the maximum pressure policy initiated by President Trump. This presents an optimal moment for the United States to significantly bolster Iranian democratic aspirations.
How Iranians, Iranian-Americans, and the United States Benefit:
•	Empowering Iranian Citizens: Facilitates secure communication and organization for activists, dissidents, and journalists. Lowers the risks of engaging in civil disobedience inside Iran.
•	Advancing U.S. Interests: Reinforces America's commitment to global democracy, human rights, and security without spending American money, adding new sanctions, or escalating towards military conflict.
•	Enhancing Regional Stability: Reduces the regime's influence and aggression promotes peace and stability in the region.
