What this amendment would do

SA 6658, submitted by Mr. Schatz, aims to add a new section (SEC. 1271) to bill S. 4784. This addition requires the Secretary of Defense to provide a report to Congress analyzing how United States sanctions have impacted the military capabilities of the Russian Federation and the Islamic Republic of Iran.

The purpose of this amendment is to hold officials accountable by demanding an assessment of whether these sanctions actually work. Specifically, the report must cover:

  • The overall readiness and reorganization of the armed forces of both nations.
  • The health of their domestic defense industrial bases from 2018 to January 2026.
  • Whether military technology was stunted or halted.
  • The impact on proxy forces and their ability to perform extraterritorial operations.
  • Whether sanctions meaningfully deterred aggression.
  • Specific impacts on the Islamic Republic of Iran regarding its ability to respond to Operation Epic Fury and the reconstitution of its ballistic missile program after Israel's strikes in June 2025.
