AI Summary
This bill removes the expiration date from the Iran Sanctions Act of 1996, so those sanctions continue unless changed by a future law. It also states that the United States should fully carry out and enforce that sanctions law. The Iran Sanctions Act requires the President to place penalties on people or companies involved in certain dealings tied to Iran’s energy sector or efforts to get or build dangerous weapons, like chemical, biological, or nuclear arms. Congress notes concerns about Iran’s weapons programs and support for terrorism, including the Revolutionary Guards.
Key points:
- What changes: The sanctions law no longer ends on a set date; it becomes permanent unless Congress changes it later.
- Who is affected: Businesses and individuals who might trade with or support Iran’s energy or weapons programs must keep following U.S. sanctions rules.
- Impact: The U.S. aims to keep pressure on Iran by continuing to enforce these sanctions.
