Report (February 10, 2014) 

Section 1245(e) of the FY13 NDAA, 

known as the Iran Freedom and 

Counterproliferation Act of 2012, as 

delegated, requires that the Secretary of 

State, in consultation with the Secretary 

of the Treasury, determine (1) whether 

Iran is (a) using any of the materials 

described in subsection (d) of Section 

1245 of the FY13 NDAA as a medium 

for barter, swap, or any other exchange 

or transaction; or (b) listing any of such 

materials as assets of the Government of 

Iran for purposes of the national balance 

sheet of Iran; (2) which sectors of the 

economy of Iran are controlled directly 

or indirectly by Iran’s Islamic 

Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC); and 

(3) which of the materials described in 

subsection (d) are used in connection 

with the nuclear, military, or ballistic 

missile programs of Iran. Materials 

described in subsection (d) of Section 

1245 are graphite, raw or semi-finished 

metals such as aluminum and steel, 

coal, and software for integrating

Following a review of the available 

information, and in consultation with 

the Department of the Treasury and the

Secretary for Political Affairs has 

determined, pursuant to further 

delegated authority, that Iran is not 

using the materials described in Section 

1245(d) as a medium for barter, swap, or 

any other exchange or transaction; nor 

is Iran listing any such materials as 

assets of the Government of Iran for 

purposes of the national balance sheet 

of Iran. 

Following a review of the available 

information, and in consultation with 

the Department of the Treasury and the 

intelligence community, the Under 

Secretary for Political Affairs has also 

determined, pursuant to that further 

delegated authority, that the IRGC 

exercises indirect control over Iran’s 

energy sector. 

Finally, following a review of the 

available information, and in 

consultation with the Department of the 

Treasury and the intelligence 

community, the Under Secretary for 

Political Affairs has determined, 

pursuant to that further delegated 

authority, that of the 31 materials 

expected to be included within the 

scope of subsection (d), certain types of 

the following materials are used in 

connection with the nuclear, military, or 

ballistic missile programs of Iran: 

Aluminum, beryllium, boron, cobalt, 

copper, copper-infiltrated tungsten, 

copper-beryllium, graphite, hastelloy, 

inconel, magnesium, molybdenum,
