Bill Summary
A BILL To impose additional sanctions with respect to Iran and modify other existing sanctions with respect to Iran, and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill aims to impose comprehensive sanctions and restrictions on Iran, targeting its nuclear program, support for terrorism, and human rights abuses. The Maximum Pressure Act seeks to deny Iran paths to nuclear weapons, curtail its ballistic missile program, and counter its support for terrorist proxies like Hamas and Hezbollah. The bill requires the President to maintain strict economic and diplomatic pressure on Iran until it meets 12 specific demands, including stopping uranium enrichment, releasing detained U.S. citizens, ending support for terrorism, and withdrawing forces from Syria. The legislation expands sanctions on Iranian entities, financial institutions, and individuals involved in arms sales, missile development, and human rights violations. It mandates numerous reports on Iranian activities, creates new funds to support Iranian civil society and victims of state-sponsored terrorism, and establishes initiatives to investigate Iranian government corruption. The bill also increases rewards for capturing terrorists involved in the October 7, 2023 attacks on Israel and prohibits any future waivers or licenses related to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) without specific congressional certification.
