§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, give a report to the President, the Secretaries of Defense, Commerce, State, and the Treasury, and the right congressional committees. The report must name any country the Director believes is letting certain U.S.-origin goods, services, or technologies pass through to Iranian end-users or intermediaries. Those items are U.S.-origin things that could help Iran build nuclear, chemical, or biological weapons; improve missiles or advanced weapons; or support terrorism, when they are on U.S. export control lists or banned by the U.N. The Director must update the report when new information is found and at least once a year. The report and the updates may be submitted in classified form.
