This bill seeks to permanently extend the Iran Sanctions Act of 1996 by repealing its sunset provision . The Act mandates the imposition of sanctions against Iran for its illicit weapons programs, conventional weapons and ballistic missile development, and its support for terrorism, including the Revolutionary Guards Corps. Congress finds that Iran continues to acquire destabilizing conventional weapons and funnel support to terrorist proxies, posing a threat to U.S. allies. Therefore, the bill asserts a U.S. policy to fully implement and enforce these critical sanctions indefinitely, removing the clause that would otherwise lead to their expiration.
