What this bill would do

This bill is called the No Iranian Energy Act. It aims to put sanctions on the importation of natural gas from Iran by the Government of Iraq. The text expresses the view of Congress that the United States should target Iran's emerging gas industry for sanctions. It does this by amending the Iran Freedom and Counter-Proliferation Act of 20212. Specifically, it changes sections 1244 and 1247 of that Act to make sanctions apply to the sale, supply, or transfer of natural gas to or from Iran.

Yes

  • Does this reduce how much oil, gas and coal is produced?+5

    The bill targets the energy sector by sanctioning natural gas imports, which may indirectly reduce fossil fuel trade dominance.

  • Does this give the federal government more power?+3

    The bill expands federal authority over energy trade through sanctions.

The opposite

  • Is this likely to lower the price at the pump?-2

    Sanctioning natural gas supplies could lead to higher energy costs by reducing global supply.

  • Would households on low incomes be better off under this?-1

    Energy sanctions may lead to increased utility and heating costs for low-income families.

  • Would middle-income households be better off under this?-1

    Potential increase in energy prices may negatively affect middle-class budgets.
