What this bill would do

This bill seeks to repeal the sunset provision of the Iran Sanctions Act of 1996. The legislation aims to ensure that the requirements for imposing sanctions regarding Iran's weapons programs and support for terrorism remain in place. Congress notes that Iran has acquired destabilizing weapons from the Russian Federation and provides support to terrorist proxies. This action aligns with the policy to fully implement and enforce the original 1996 Act. The bill specifically targets the removal of the expiration date found in Section 13 of the original law.
