On September 19, 2024, Rep. Jim Banks (IN-03) and a group of lawmakers from the U.S. House of Representatives and the Senate sent a letter to President Joe Biden, urging his administration to enforce the Mahsa Amini Human Rights and Security Accountability (MAHSA) and Stop Harboring Iranian Petroleum (SHIP) Acts. The MAHSA Act mandates the president to assess potential sanctions on Iran's Supreme Leader and other senior officials by July 23, 2024, followed by imposing these sanctions. The Biden administration missed this deadline.
