AI Summary

This bill, the Maximum Pressure Act, would impose additional sanctions on Iran and modify existing sanctions. Key provisions include: - Codifying certain executive orders and continuing certain existing sanctions, including prohibiting the removal of certain Iranian individuals and entities from sanctions lists. - Imposing sanctions on the Supreme Leader of Iran, Iranian officials, and those supporting Iran's ballistic missile program or providing material support to Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps or other sanctioned persons. - Expanding sanctions authorities under existing laws like the Iran Sanctions Act and Iran Freedom and Counter-Proliferation Act. - Requiring congressional review and approval for certain actions to terminate or waive sanctions on Iran. - Prohibiting future waivers or licenses related to the designation of Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps as a foreign terrorist organization. - Mandating reports on Iran sanctions violations, sectors of Iran's economy controlled by the Revolutionary Guard, Iran's breakout timeline for nuclear weapons, and Iranian disinformation campaigns. The overall policy is to deny Iran paths to nuclear weapons, roll back Iran's regional malign influence, support human rights in Iran, and impose maximum economic pressure on Iran until Iran meets a list of 12 demands laid out by former Secretary of State Pompeo.
