Bill > S1889

This bill seeks to repeal the sunset provision of the Iran Sanctions Act of 1996, which means removing the law's previous expiration date and making its sanctions against Iran permanent. The bill includes congressional findings that highlight Iran's continued problematic behaviors, such as developing illicit weapons programs, acquiring conventional weapons from countries like Russia, and providing financial and weapons support to terrorist groups in the Middle East. The legislation specifically notes that Iran's actions threaten U.S. allies like Israel. By amending Section 13 of the original Iran Sanctions Act, the bill eliminates language related to the law's expiration and effectively ensures that sanctions can continue to be implemented and enforced against Iran without a predetermined end date. The bill underscores the U.S. policy of fully implementing and enforcing sanctions to counter Iran's destabilizing activities, particularly those involving weapons development and support for terrorist organizations.
