## Summary

**Expands U.S. sanctions to cover Iranian natural gas.** This bill would add the sale, supply, or transfer of natural gas to the set of Iran-related activities subject to the Iran Freedom and Counter‑Proliferation Act, while preserving the exception in section 1254. - Iran's government and its emerging gas industry would become explicit targets for sanctions on natural gas sales and transfers. - Foreign governments that import Iranian natural gas, including arrangements involving Iraq, could be exposed to U.S. sanctions under the amended law. - International energy companies, traders, and banks that facilitate natural gas deals with Iran could face penalties under the Act's existing authorities. - The bill relies on existing sanctions tools and does not create new funding or standalone enforcement programs.
