A bill to repeal the sunset provision of the Iran Sanctions Act of 1996.

Sponsored By: Senator Scott, Tim [R-SC]

Introduced

Summary

This bill would repeal the sunset in the Iran Sanctions Act of 1996, preserving U.S. sanctions authority under that law. It frames findings that Iran has acquired destabilizing weapons, funneled arms and funding to proxies, and it states that the United States should fully implement and enforce the Act.

Show full summary
  • Federal agencies would retain a standing statutory basis to impose sanctions tied to Iran's illicit weapons programs, missile development, and support for terrorism.
  • Companies, foreign actors, and financial networks that enable Iran's arms purchases or backing for proxies would remain subject to U.S. sanctions risk.
  • Emphasizes deterrence aimed at Iran's transfers that threaten U.S. allies and partners, including Israel.

Iran sanctions stay in place
