## Summary

**The Internet Reach and Access Now Act would push U.S. policy to expand secure internet access for people in Iran by coordinating federal strategy, supporting censorship‑circumvention tools, and protecting satellite direct‑to‑cell coverage.** - Creates programs to deliver cybersecurity training and vetted privacy tools to journalists, human‑rights defenders, and civil society in Iran, and requires an independent evaluation within 3 years. - Directs the Federal Communications Commission to encourage satellite and direct‑to‑cell operators not to disable, degrade, or geoblock coverage in Iran except when required by law, and requires Congress reporting on exclusions for 5 years. - Requires a coordinated federal strategy with Treasury and Commerce to clarify how sanctions and export controls apply to VPNs, eSIMs, decentralized networks, and other circumvention tools, and mandates annual public updates on progress. *Authorizes $15.0 million for each of FY2027 and FY2028 to carry out these programs.*
