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 s 1390, 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.

The Solidify Iran Sanctions Act of 2023 includes provisions that would target key sectors of the Iranian economy, such as the energy, banking, and shipping industries. The bill also aims to restrict Iran's access to international financial markets and technology, in an effort to further isolate the country and pressure its government to change its behavior.

Additionally, the legislation calls for increased coordination with US allies and partners to enforce these sanctions and ensure that Iran is held accountable for its actions. The bill also includes measures to support the Iranian people and promote human rights and democracy in the country. Overall, the Solidify Iran Sanctions Act of 2023 represents a bipartisan effort to address the ongoing challenges posed by Iran's destabilizing activities in the region. Supporters of the bill argue that it is necessary to maintain pressure on Iran and prevent it from further threatening regional security and global stability.
