Summary

The United States must quickly try to extend the missile limits in Annex B to United Nations Security Council Resolution 2231 (2015). It must use every tool to limit Iran’s own ballistic missile production, stop arms and related parts or technology moving to or from Iran, and hold countries, people, and groups who try to buy, help buy, or make these weapons accountable under U.S. and international law—using sanctions and export controls—even if those Annex B limits are expected to expire in October 2023.
