US lawmakers in Congress, in yet another belligerent move against the Islamic Republic, have approved a bill to restrict the proliferation of Iran's military drone in the midst of negotiations over the removal of anti-Tehran sanctions in the Austrian capital of Vienna.

In a statement on Friday, Gregory W. Meeks, head of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, announced the passage of the Stop Iranian Drones Act (SIDA), which would impose a ban on the supply, sale or transfer of military drones to or from Iran under US law.

The SIDA bill, proposed earlier in the week by a group of Republican and Democratic lawmakers in the US House of Representatives, addressed what it claimed to be the growing threat of Iran�s unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) program.

In the statement, Meeks accused Iran of conducting �drone attacks in the Middle East,� and said, �Such activity will not be tolerated by the US Congress and is actively being addressed by the Biden Administration.�
