Second
February 13, 2012
Placed on Senate calendar

This measure was dropped in favor of *H.R. 1905, a bill that included similar provisions.

The bill would expand sanctions on Iran to include the petroleum sector, uranium mining efforts, persons providing technology that could be used to commit human rights abuses in Iran or Syria, and persons who have committed human rights abuses in either country. The bill would also blacklist financial institutions that receive payments for Iranian oil, thereby preventing Iran from using foreign banks as agents to process oil transactions.

No cosponsors
