On November 17, the U.S. Senate unanimously voted in favor of the measure. The original bill was reportedly authored by Rep. Ed Royce (R-CA), chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee and New York Rep. Eliot Engel (D-NY), the top Democrat on the panel.<\/p>\n<p>Congress\u2019 approval of the bipartisan legislation comes before Iran&#8217;s regime receives billions of dollars in sanction relief funds, a portion of which Obama and members of his administration have conceded will likely be used to fund the Lebanon-based Shiite militant movement Hezbollah, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/national-security\/2015\/12\/18\/congress-approves-bill-sanction-banks-financing-irans-terror-proxy-hezbollah\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"alternate noopener noreferrer\">Breitbart News wrote<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>An unnamed senior administration official told Agence France-Presse (AFP) that President Obama will sign the bill into law, adding that the administration has worked with lawmakers for years \u201cto intensify the pressure against the Hezbollah terrorist organization.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hezbollah, which has been described by analysts as a \u201cnarco-terror\u201d group, maintains a presence in the United States and Latin America, where it generates millions of dollars through drug trafficking, human smuggling, money laundering and other illicit activities, Breitbart News said.<\/p>\n<p>A U.S. military official told Breitbart News, on condition of anonymity for lack of authorization to discuss the matter publicly, that Iran&#8217;s regime is using an estimated 80-plus Shiite \u201ccultural centers\u201d in Latin America to expand its covert recruitment operations.<\/p>\n<p>The so-called \u201ccultural centers,\u201d operated by Hezbollah and Tehran\u2019s Revolutionary Guards-Quds Force, are continuously multiplying, noted the official.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs the foremost state sponsor of terrorism, Iran\u2019s involvement in the region and these cultural centers is a matter for concern, and its diplomatic, economic, and political engagement is closely monitored,\u201d Gen. John Kelly, the commander of U.S. Southern Command, told lawmakers earlier this year.<\/p>\n<p>Breitbart News found that the number of \u201ccultural centers\u201d in Latin America have more than doubled, from 36 in 2012 to more than 80 today.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIran has established more than 80 \u2018cultural centers\u2019 in a region with an extremely small Muslim population. The purported purpose of these centers is to improve Iran\u2019s image, promote Shi\u2019a Islam, and increase Iran\u2019s political influence in the region,\u201d explained Gen. Kelly.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, the State Department last year reported that \u201cIranian influence in Latin America and the Caribbean is waning.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hezbollah is \u201can Iranian proxy responsible for hundreds of American deaths,\u201d said House Speaker Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) ahead of Wednesday\u2019s vote.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c[Nuclear] deal or no deal, we cannot allow Iran\u2019s threatening activities to continue without consequence,\u201d he
