- Lets the Secretary of State identify countries that have normalized relations with Israel and are cooperating against threats from Iran and Iran-aligned groups such as Hezbollah and the Houthis.
- Sets aside the usual time limits for defense sales, export licenses, and excess defense article transfers to those countries, requiring instead a certification to Congress at least 15 calendar days before approval.
- Requires each certification to explain how the transfer serves U.S. policy and summarize steps taken to keep sensitive U.S. technology from China and Russia.
- Requires the Secretary of State to submit a strategy report within 60 days of enactment and every 60 days after, covering Iran threats, metrics, pending sales over $25 million, and delivery timelines.
- States that nothing in the Act adversely affects Israel's qualitative military edge.
