Solidify Iran Sanctions Act of 2023

This bill eliminates a sunset clause in the Iran Sanctions Act of 1996, thereby making permanent the requirement for the President to impose sanctions on certain individuals or entities engaged in specified transactions related to Iran's energy sector or Iran's efforts to acquire or develop certain weapons (such as chemical, biological, or nuclear weapons).

Bill 118 hr 3033, also known as the Solidify Iran Sanctions Act of 2023, is a piece of legislation introduced in the US Congress with the aim of imposing stricter sanctions on Iran. The bill seeks to strengthen the existing sanctions regime against Iran in response to its continued support for terrorism, human rights abuses, and pursuit of nuclear weapons.

If passed, the Solidify Iran Sanctions Act of 2023 would expand the scope of sanctions on Iran by targeting individuals and entities involved in Iran's ballistic missile program, support for terrorist organizations, and human rights violations. The bill also includes provisions to restrict Iran's access to key technologies and resources that could be used to further its nuclear ambitions.

Additionally, the bill calls for increased coordination with US allies and partners to ensure that the sanctions are effectively enforced and that Iran is held accountable for its actions. The Solidify Iran Sanctions Act of 2023 is seen as a bipartisan effort to address the ongoing threat posed by Iran and to prevent the country from destabilizing the region and threatening global security. Overall, the Solidify Iran Sanctions Act of 2023 represents a significant step towards strengthening the US government's response to Iran's destabilizing activities and ensuring that Iran is held accountable for its actions.
