Bill > S3235

This bill, the "End Iranian Terrorism Act of 2024," aims to counter the role of China in evading sanctions imposed by the United States on Iranian-origin petroleum products. It requires the Secretary of State to develop a strategy to strengthen the enforcement of sanctions and expand sanctions designations targeting China's involvement in the production, transportation, storage, refining, and sale of Iranian oil. The bill also mandates the imposition of sanctions on foreign entities, including Chinese entities, that are determined to meet the criteria for sanctions under existing laws related to Iran. Additionally, the bill requires a report on the impacts of U.S. sanctions on Iran, including their effects on the Iranian regime's activities, the Iranian people's standard of living, and the growth of unofficial economies controlled by Iranian officials. The bill includes exceptions for the importation of goods, compliance with international obligations and law enforcement activities, intelligence activities, and humanitarian assistance.
