Summary

The Director of National Intelligence must send a report within 180 days after July 1, 2010 to the President; the Secretaries of Defense, Commerce, State, and the Treasury; and certain congressional committees.

Covered items are U.S.-origin things that would significantly help Iran build nuclear, chemical, or biological weapons, develop missiles or advanced weapons, or support terrorism. This includes items on the Commerce Control List or the United States Munitions List, and things banned for export 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 may be submitted as classified.
