## 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. - 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.
