Stop Oil Exports to Lower Gas Prices Act

This bill aims to prohibit the export of crude oil, gasoline, and diesel fuel from the United States. This prohibition would be in effect during any period of military operations against Iran that began in March 2026. The export ban would commence upon the bill's enactment and continue until the President officially declares that military operations against Iran have ceased. Additionally, the President must certify to Congress that the Strait of Hormuz is fully open and global shipping through it has resumed. A specific waiver provision allows the President to permit crude oil exports if it is determined that the oil cannot be efficiently refined within the United States. In such cases, the exported crude oil must be refined abroad and subsequently imported back into the U.S. to ensure domestic supply.
