This bill would strengthen and expand sanctions on Iran, specifically with respect to its ballistic missile program.
It would do so by amending three existing laws: the Iran-Iraq Arms Non-Proliferation Act of 1992, to cover ballistic missile or related technology; the Iran Sanctions Act of 1996, extending the legislation through 12/31/31, and reimposing sanctions on Iran as well as entities or individuals that engage in actions intended to acquire or develop ballistic missiles and related technology; and the Iran Threat Reduction and Syria Human Rights Act of 2012, to direct the president to report to Congress biannually on identified individuals that have knowingly aided Iran in developing its ballistic missile program, and on Iran-North Korea ballistic missile cooperation. The president would also have the ability to block all U.S. transactions by such persons and deny them entry to the United States.
