SEC. 2. FINDINGS. 
Congress finds the following: 
(1) The security of the United States is not en-
hanced when the United States acts in a manner 
that leads other nations to distrust its public pro-
nouncements, question its motives, and view its ac-
tions with suspicion. 
(2) Engaging in covert or clandestine activities 
intended to undermine or overthrow the Government 
of Iran is antithetical to democratic values and re-
spect for the rule of law. 
SEC. 3. PROHIBITION ON USE OF FUNDS TO COVERTLY OR 
CLANDESTINELY SUPPORT THE OVERTHROW 
OF THE GOVERNMENT OF IRAN. 
(a) IN GENERAL.—Subject to subsection (b), no 
funds appropriated to the Federal Government may be ob-
ligated or expended by the Central Intelligence Agency or 
the Department of Defense to provide covert or clandes-
tine support, including military training or advice or 
equipment for military activities, for the purpose of over-
throwing the Government of Iran. 
(b) EXCEPTION FOR DECLARATION OF WAR.—Sub-
section (a) shall not apply if a declaration of war by Con-
gress with respect to Iran is in effect.
