1 SEC. 2. FINDINGS. 

2 Congress makes the following findings: 

3 (1) Successive administrations have clearly 

4 identified the unacceptability of the Iranian regime’s 

5 pursuit of nuclear weapons capabilities and the dan6 ger that pursuit presents to the United States, to 

7 our friends and allies, and to global security. 

8 (2) In May 1995, President Clinton stated that 

9 ‘‘The specter of an Iran armed with weapons of 

10 mass destruction and the missiles to deliver them 

11 haunts not only Israel but the entire Middle East 

12 and ultimately all the rest of us as well. The United 

13 States and, I believe, all the Western nations have 

14 an overriding interest in containing the threat posed 

15 by Iran.’’. 

16 (3) In the 2006 State of the Union Address, 

17 President Bush stated that ‘‘The Iranian govern18 ment is defying the world with its nuclear ambitions, 

19 and the nations of the world must not permit the 

20 Iranian regime to gain nuclear weapons. America 


jbell on DSKDVH8Z91PROD with BILLS
4 

•HR 1905 IH

1 will continue to rally the world to confront these 

2 threats.’’. 

3 (4) In February 2009, President Obama com4 mitted the Administration to ‘‘developing a strategy 

5 to use all elements of American power to prevent 

6 Iran from developing a nuclear weapon’’. 

7 (5) Iran is a major threat to U.S. national se8 curity interests, not only exemplified by Tehran’s 

9 nuclear program but also by its material assistance 

10 to armed groups in Iraq and Afghanistan, to the 

11 Palestinian group Hamas, to Lebanese Hezbollah, 

12 and to other extremists that seek to undermine re13 gional stability. These capabilities provide the regime 

14 with potential asymmetric delivery vehicles and 

15 mechanisms for nuclear or other unconventional 

16 weapons. 

17 (6) Iran’s growing inventory of ballistic missile 

18 and other destabilizing types of conventional weap19 ons provides the regime the capabilities to enhance 

20 its power projection throughout the region and un21 dermine the national security interests of the U.S. 

22 and its friends and allies. 

23 (7) Were Iran to achieve a nuclear weapons ca24 pability, it would, inter alia— 


jbell on DSKDVH8Z91PROD with BILLS
5 

•HR 1905 IH

1 (A) likely lead to the proliferation of such 

2 weapons throughout the region, where several 

3 states have already indicated interest in nuclear 

4 programs, and would dramatically undercut 60 

5 years of U.S. efforts to stop the spread of nu6 clear weapons; 

7 (B) greatly increase the threat of nuclear 

8 terrorism; 

9 (C) significantly expand Iran’s already10 growing influence in the region; 

11 (D) insulate the regime from international 

12 pressure, giving it wider scope further to op13 press its citizens and pursue aggression region14 ally and globally; 

15 (E) embolden all Iranian-supported ter16 rorist groups, including Hamas and Hezbollah; 

17 and 

18 (F) directly threaten several U.S. friends 

19 and allies, especially Israel, whose very right to 

20 exist has been denied successively by every lead21 er of the Islamic Republic of Iran and which 

22 Iranian President Ahmadinejad says should be 

23 ‘‘wiped off the map’’. 

24 (8) Successive Congresses have clearly recog25 nized the threat that the Iranian regime and its poliVerDate Mar 15 2010 23:38 May 26, 2011 Jkt 099200 PO 00000 Frm 00005 Fmt 6652 Sfmt 6201 E:\BILLS\H1905.IH H1905

•HR 1905 IH

1 cies present to the United States, to our friends and 

2 allies, and to global security, and responded with 

3 successive bipartisan legislative initiatives. 

4 (9) The extent of the Iranian threat is greater 

5 today than when the Iran-Libya Sanctions Act was 

6 signed into law in 1996, now known as the Iran 

7 Sanction Act. That landmark legislation imposed 

8 sanctions on foreign companies investing in Iran’s 

9 energy infrastructure in an effort to undermine the 

10 strategic threat from Iran, by cutting off investment 

11 in its petroleum sector and thereby denying the re12 gime its economic lifeline and its ability to pursue a 

13 nuclear program. 

14 (10) Legislation like ILSA, which was re-titled 

15 the Iran Sanctions Act in 2006, paved the way for 

16 similar legislation, such as the Iran, North Korea 

17 and Syria Nonproliferation Act; the Iran-Iraq Arms 

18 Nonproliferation Act (2006); the Iran Freedom Sup19 port Act (2006); and the Comprehensive Iran Sanc20 tions, Accountability, and Divestment Act (2010). 

21 (11) U.S. sanctions on Iran have hindered 

22 Iran’s ability to attract capital, material, and tech23 nical support for its petroleum sector, creating fi24 nancial difficulties for the regime.

•HR 1905 IH

1 (12) In the Joint Explanatory Statement of the 

2 Committee of Conference to the Comprehensive Iran 

3 Sanctions, Accountability, and Divestment Act of 

4 2010 (CISADA) (Public Law 111–195; 50 U.S.C. 

5 1701 note) issued on June 23, 2010, the Members 

6 of the Committee of Conference noted that ‘‘Al7 though [the Iran Sanctions Act] was enacted more 

8 than a decade ago, no Administration has sanctioned 

9 a foreign entity for investing $20 million or more in 

10 Iran’s energy sector, despite a number of such in11 vestments. Indeed, on only one occasion, in 1998, 

12 did the Administration make a determination re13 garding a sanctions-triggering investment, but the 

14 Administration waived sanctions against the offend15 ing persons. Conferees believe that the lack of en16 forcement of relevant enacted sanctions may have 

17 served to encourage rather than deter Iran’s efforts 

18 to pursue nuclear weapons.’’. 

19 (13) The Joint Explanatory Statement also 

20 noted that ‘‘The effectiveness of this Act will depend 

21 on its forceful implementation. The Conferees urge 

22 the President to vigorously impose the sanctions pro23 vided for in this Act.’’. 

24 (14) The Comprehensive Iran Sanctions, Ac25 countability, and Divestment Act of 2010 mandates 


jbell on DSKDVH8Z91PROD with BILLS
8 

•HR 1905 IH

1 (among other provisions) that the President initiate 

2 investigations of potentially sanctionable activity 

3 under the Iran Sanctions Act (Public Law 104–172; 

4 50 U.S.C. 1701 note). Although more than 6 

5 months have passed since enactment of this legisla6 tion, Congress has not received notice of the imposi7 tion of sanctions on any entities that do significant 

8 business in the U.S., despite multiple reports of po9 tentially sanctionable activity by such entities. Al10 though, in accordance with CISADA, some poten11 tially sanctionable entities have been persuaded to 

12 wind down and end their involvement in Iran, others 

13 have not. In fact, since CISADA became law, only 

14 two entities have been sanctioned, neither of which 

15 does business in the U.S. and both of which are 

16 therefore largely untouched by the sanctions. 

17 (15) It is unlikely that Iran can be compelled 

18 to abandon its pursuit of nuclear weapons unless 

19 sanctions are fully and effectively implemented. 

20 SEC. 3. STATEMENT OF POLICY. 

21 It shall be the policy of the United States to— 

22 (1) prevent Iran from— 

23 (A) acquiring or developing nuclear weap24 ons and associated delivery capabilities;

1 (B) developing its unconventional weapons 

2 and ballistic missile capabilities; and 

3 (C) continuing its support for Foreign Ter4 rorist Organizations and other activities aimed

6 and other nations; and 

7 (2) fully implement all multilateral and bilateral 

8 sanctions against Iran in order to compel the Gov9 ernment of Iran to— 

10 (A) abandon and verifiably dismantle its 

11 nuclear capabilities;

1 liver them, both through ballistic-missile and asym2 metric means, and its support for foreign terrorist 

3 organizations and other extremists endanger the na4 tional security and foreign policy interests of the 

5 United States and those countries with which the 

6 United States shares common strategic and foreign 

7 policy objectives. 

8 (2) The objectives of preventing the prolifera9 tion of nuclear and other unconventional weapons 

10 and countering the activities of foreign terrorist or11 ganizations and other extremists through existing 

12 multilateral and bilateral initiatives require further 

13 efforts to deny Iran the financial means to sustain 

14 its nuclear, chemical, biological, and missile weapons 

15 programs and its active support for terrorism. 

16 (3) The Government of Iran uses its diplomatic 

17 facilities and quasi-governmental institutions outside 

18 of Iran to support foreign terrorist organizations 

19 and other extremists, and assist its unconventional 

20 weapons and missile programs, including its nuclear 

21 program. 

22 SEC. 102. SENSE OF CONGRESS. 

23 It is the sense of Congress that the goal of compelling 

24 Iran to abandon its pursuit of nuclear weapons and other 

25 threatening activities can be achieved most effectively

11 

•HR 1905 IH

1 through full implementation of all sanctions enacted into 

2 law, including those sanctions set out in this title. 

3 SEC. 103. DECLARATION OF POLICY. 

4 Congress declares that it is the policy of the United 

5 States to deny Iran the ability to support acts of foreign 

6 terrorist organizations and extremists and develop uncon7 ventional weapons and ballistic missiles. A critical means 

8 of achieving that goal is sanctions that limit Iran’s ability 

9 to develop its energy resources, including its ability to ex10 plore for, extract, refine, and transport by pipeline its hy11 drocarbon resources, in order to limit the funds Iran has 

12 available for pursuing its objectionable activities. 

13 SEC. 104. MULTILATERAL REGIME. 

14 (a) MULTILATERAL NEGOTIATIONS.—In order to 

15 further the objectives of section 103, Congress urges the 

16 President immediately to initiate diplomatic efforts, both 

17 in appropriate international fora such as the United Na18 tions, and bilaterally with allies of the United States, to 

19 expand the multilateral sanctions regime regarding Iran, 

20 including— 

21 (1) qualitatively expanding the United Nations 

22 Security Council sanctions regime against Iran; 

23 (2) qualitatively expanding the range of sanc24 tions by the European Union, South Korea, Japan, 

25 Australia, and other key United States allies;

1 (3) further efforts to limit Iran’s development 

2 of petroleum resources and import of refined petro3 leum; and 

4 (4) initiatives aimed at increasing non-Iranian 

5 crude oil product output for current purchasers of 

6 Iranian petroleum and petroleum byproducts. 

7 (b) REPORTS TO CONGRESS.—Not later than 180 

8 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, and annu9 ally thereafter, the President shall submit to the appro10 priate congressional committees a report on the extent to 

11 which diplomatic efforts described in subsection (a) have 

12 been successful. Each report shall include— 

13 (1) the countries that have agreed to undertake 

14 measures to further the objectives of section 103 

15 with respect to Iran, and a description of those 

16 measures; and 

17 (2) the countries that have not agreed to meas18 ures described in paragraph (1), and, with respect to 

19 those countries, other measures the President rec20 ommends that the United States take to further the 

21 objectives of section 103 with respect to Iran.
