5 Congress makes the following findings: 

6 (1) The Director of Central Intelligence’s most 

7 recent Unclassified Report to Congress on the Acquisi8 tion of Technology Relating to Weapons of Mass De9 struction and Advanced Conventional Munitions, 1 

10 July Through 31 December 2003, states ‘‘Russian en11 tities during the reporting period continued to supply 

12 a variety of ballistic missile-related goods and tech13 nical know-how to countries such as Iran, India, and 

14 China. Iran’s earlier success in gaining technology

•S 1713 EAH 

1 and materials from Russian entities helped accelerate 

2 Iranian development of the Shahab-3 MRBM, and 

3 continuing Russian entity assistance has supported 

4 Iranian efforts to develop new missiles and increase 

5 Tehran’s self-sufficiency in missile production.’’ 

6 (2) Vice Admiral Lowell E. Jacoby, the Director 

7 of the Defense Intelligence Agency, stated in testimony 

8 before the Select Committee on Intelligence of the Sen9 ate on February 16, 2005, that ‘‘Tehran probably will 

10 have the ability to produce nuclear weapons early in 

11 the next decade’’. 

12 (3) Iran has— 

13 (A) failed to act in accordance with the 

14 Agreement Between Iran and the International 

15 Atomic Energy Agency for the Application of 

16 Safeguards in Connection with the Treaty on the 

17 Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, done at 

18 Vienna June 19, 1973 (commonly referred to as 

19 the ‘‘Safeguards Agreement’’); 

20 (B) acted in a manner inconsistent with the 

21 Protocol Additional to the Agreement Between 

22 Iran and the International Atomic Energy Agen23 cy for the Application of Safeguards, signed at 

24 Vienna December 18, 2003 (commonly referred to 

25 as the ‘‘Additional Protocol’’);

•S 1713 EAH 

1 (C) acted in a manner inconsistent with its 

2 obligations under the Treaty on the Non-Pro3 liferation of Nuclear Weapons, done at Wash4 ington, London, and Moscow July 1, 1968, and 

5 entered into force March 5, 1970 (commonly re6 ferred to as the ‘‘Nuclear Non-Proliferation Trea7 ty’’); and 

8 (D) resumed uranium conversion activities, 

9 thus ending the confidence building measures it 

10 adopted in its November 2003 agreement with 

11 the foreign ministers of the United Kingdom, 

12 France, and Germany. 

13 (4) On September 24, 2005, the Board of Gov14 ernors of the International Atomic Energy Agency 

15 (IAEA) formally declared that Iranian actions con16 stituted noncompliance with its nuclear safeguards 

17 obligations, and that Iran’s history of concealment of 

18 its nuclear activities has given rise to questions that 

19 are within the purview of the United Nations Secu20 rity Council. 

21 (5) The executive branch has on multiple occa22 sions used the authority provided under section 3 of 

23 the Iran Nonproliferation Act of 2000 (Public Law 

24 106–178; 50 U.S.C. 1701 note) to impose sanctions on

5 including under the Australia Group, Chemical 

6 Weapons Convention, Missile Technology Control 

7 Regime, Nuclear Suppliers Group, and the 

8 Wassenaar Arrangement or otherwise having the 

9 potential to make a material contribution to the 

10 development of weapons of mass destruction or 

11 cruise or ballistic missile systems to Iran; and 

12 (B) the export of other items to Iran with 

13 the potential of making a material contribution 

14 to Iran’s weapons of mass destruction programs 

15 or on United States national control lists for 

16 reasons related to the proliferation of weapons of 

17 mass destruction or missiles. 

18 (6) The executive branch has never made a deter19 mination pursuant to section 6(b) of the Iran Non20 proliferation Act of 2000 that— 

21 (A) it is the policy of the Government of the 

22 Russian Federation to oppose the proliferation to 

23 Iran of weapons of mass destruction and missile 

24 systems capable of delivering such weapons; 
5

•S 1713 EAH 

1 (B) the Government of the Russian Federa2 tion (including the law enforcement, export pro3 motion, export control, and intelligence agencies 

4 of such government) has demonstrated and con5 tinues to demonstrate a sustained commitment to 

6 seek out and prevent the transfer to Iran of 

7 goods, services, and technology that could make 

8 a material contribution to the development of 

9 nuclear, biological, or chemical weapons, or of 

10 ballistic or cruise missile systems; and 

11 (C) no entity under the jurisdiction or con12 trol of the Government of the Russian Federa13 tion, has, during the 1-year period prior to the 

14 date of the determination pursuant to section 

15 6(b) of such Act, made transfers to Iran report16 able under section 2(a) of the Act. 

17 (7) On June 29, 2005, President George W. Bush 

18 issued Executive Order 13382 blocking property of 

19 weapons of mass destruction proliferators and their 

20 supporters, and used the authority of such order 

21 against 4 Iranian entities, Aerospace Industries Or22 ganization, Shahid Hemmat Industrial Group, 

23 Shahid Bakeri Industrial Group, and the Atomic En24 ergy Organization of Iran, that have engaged, or at25 tempted to engage, in activities or transactions that 
6

•S 1713 EAH 

1 have materially contributed to, or pose a risk of mate2 rially contributing to, the proliferation of weapons of 

3 mass destruction or their means of delivery (including 

4 missiles capable of delivering such weapons), includ5 ing efforts to manufacture, acquire, possess, develop, 

6 transport, transfer, or use such items.
