the Secretary of the Treasury, shall submit to the Committees
of Armed Services of the Senate and the House of
Representatives a report analyzing the impacts of sanctions
imposed by the United States on the armed forces and proxy

responding to attacks launched by the United States and
Israel during Operation Epic Fury.
(b) Elements.—The report required by subsection (a) shall
include an assessment of the following:

Islamic Republic of Iran and the Russian Federation,
including how those forces have had to reorganize to address

(2) The overall health of the domestic defense industrial
base in the Islamic Republic of Iran and the Russian
Federation as a result of sanctions imposed by the United
States between 2018 and January 2026.
(3) Whether the defense industrial bases of the Islamic
Republic of Iran and the Russian Federation kept up with the
demands of the armed forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran
and the Russian Federation, respectively.
(4) Military technology areas in the Islamic Republic of
Iran and the Russian Federation that have been stunted or
halted as a result of such sanctions.
(5) The impacts of sanctions imposed by the United States
on the ability of proxy forces of the Islamic Republic of

forces have had to cultivate as a result of such sanctions.
(6) Whether sanctions imposed by the United States have had
a meaningful effect in deterring the aggression of the
Islamic Republic of Iran and the Russian Federation.
(7) How effective sanctions imposed by the United States
were in stunting the ability of the Islamic Republic of Iran
to respond militarily to Operation Epic Fury.
(8) Whether the Islamic Republic of Iran was unable to
effectively coordinate or marshal resources during Operation
Epic Fury as a result of sanctions imposed by the United
States.
(9) The effectiveness of sanctions imposed by the United
States on the ability of the Islamic Republic of Iran to
reconstitute its ballistic missile program after strikes by
