§8542 Identification of countries of concern with respect to the diversion of certain goods, services, and technologies to or through Iran

Summary

The Director of National Intelligence must, within 180 days after July 1, 2010, send a report to the President, the Secretaries of Defense, Commerce, State, and the Treasury, and the appropriate congressional committees. The report must name each country the Director believes is letting certain goods, services, or technologies pass through it to Iranian users or middlemen. Those covered items are U.S.-origin things that would help Iran develop nuclear, chemical, or biological weapons; build ballistic missiles or advanced conventional weapons; or support international terrorism. They include items on the Commerce Control List, defense articles or services on the U.S. Munitions List, and anything banned to Iran by a U.N. Security Council resolution. The Director must update the report when new information appears and at least once a year. The report and updates can be submitted in classified form.
