The STOP Iran Act of 2023, also known as Bill 118 s 450, is a piece of legislation introduced in the US Congress with the aim of addressing concerns related to Iran's nuclear program and its support for terrorism.

The bill also calls for the imposition of sanctions on Iran's ballistic missile program and human rights abuses.
In addition to imposing new sanctions, the STOP Iran Act of 2023 also includes measures aimed at increasing oversight of Iran's compliance with international agreements related to its nuclear program. This includes requiring regular reports to Congress on Iran's nuclear activities and the implementation of mechanisms to verify Iran's compliance.

Supporters of the bill argue that it is necessary to hold Iran accountable for its actions and prevent further destabilization in the region. Critics, however, have raised concerns about the potential impact of additional sanctions on diplomatic efforts with Iran and the potential for escalation of tensions in the region.
