SEC. 2. UNITED STATES POLICY TOWARD IRAN.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
            (1) The prospect of the Islamic Republic of Iran achieving 
        nuclear arms represents a grave threat to the United States and 
        its allies in the Middle East, Europe, and globally.
            (2) The nature of this threat is manifold, ranging from the 
        vastly enhanced political influence extremist Iran would wield 
        in its region, including the ability to intimidate its 
        neighbors, to, at its most nightmarish, the prospect that Iran 
        would attack its neighbors and others with nuclear arms. This 
        concern is illustrated by the statement of Hashemi Rafsanjani, 
        former president of Iran and currently a prominent member of 
        two of Iran's most important decisionmaking bodies, of December 
        14, 2001, when he said that it ``is not irrational to 
        contemplate'' the use of nuclear weapons.
            (3) The theological nature of the Iranian regime creates a 
        special urgency in addressing Iran's efforts to acquire nuclear 
        weapons.
            (4) Iranian regime leaders have persistently denied 
        Israel's right to exist. Current President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad 
        has called for Israel to be ``wiped off the map'' and the 
        Government of Iran has displayed inflammatory symbols that 
        express similar intent.
            (5) The nature of the Iranian threat makes it critical that 
        the United States and its allies do everything possible--
        diplomatically, politically, and economically--to prevent Iran 
        from acquiring nuclear-arms capability and persuade the Iranian 
        regime to halt its quest for nuclear arms.
    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress that--
            (1) Iranian President Ahmadinejad's persistent denials of 
        the Holocaust and his repeated assertions that Israel should be 
        ``wiped off the map'' may constitute a violation of the 
        Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of 
        Genocide and should be brought before an appropriate 
        international tribunal for the purpose of declaring Iran in 
        breach of the Genocide Convention;
            (2) the United States should increase use of its important 
        role in the international financial sector to isolate Iran;
            (3) Iran should be barred from entering the World Trade 
        Organization (WTO) until all issues related to its nuclear 
        program are resolved;
            (4) all future free trade agreements entered into by the 
        United States should be conditioned on the requirement that the 
        parties to such agreements pledge not to invest and not to 
        allow companies based in its territory or controlled by its 
        citizens to invest in Iran's energy sector or otherwise to make 
        significant investment in Iran;
            (5) United Nations Security Council Resolutions 1737 
        (December 23, 2006) and 1747 (March 24, 2007), which were 
        passed unanimously and mandate an immediate and unconditional 
        suspension of Iran's nuclear enrichment program, represent a 
        critical gain in the worldwide campaign to prevent Iran's 
        acquisition of nuclear arms and should be fully respected by 
        all nations;
            (6) the United Nations Security Council should take further 
        measures beyond Resolutions 1737 and 1747 to tighten sanctions 
        on Iran, including preventing new investment in Iran's energy 
        sector, as long as Iran fails to comply with the international 
        community's demand to halt its nuclear enrichment campaign;
            (7) the United States should encourage foreign governments 
        to direct state-owned entities to cease all investment in 
        Iran's energy sector and all exports of refined petroleum 
        products to Iran and to persuade, and, where possible, require 
        private entities based in their territories to cease all 
        investment in Iran's energy sector and all exports of refined 
        petroleum products to Iran;
            (8) moderate Arab states have a vital and perhaps 
        existential interest in preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear 
        arms, and therefore such states, particularly those with large 
        oil deposits, should use their economic leverage to dissuade 
        other nations, including the Russian Federation and the 
        People's Republic of China, from assisting Iran's nuclear 
        program directly or indirectly and to persuade other nations, 
        including Russia and China, to be more forthcoming in 
        supporting United Nations Security Council efforts to halt 
        Iran's nuclear program;
            (9) the United States should take all possible measures to 
        discourage and, if possible, prevent foreign banks from 
        providing export credits to foreign entities seeking to invest 
        in the Iranian energy sector;
            (10) the United States should oppose any further activity 
        by the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development 
        with respect to Iran, or the adoption of a new Country 
        Assistance Strategy for Iran, including by seeking the 
        cooperation of other countries;
            (11) the United States should extend its program of 
        discouraging foreign banks from accepting Iranian state banks 
        as clients;
            (12) the United States should prohibit all Iranian state 
        banks from using the United States banking system;
            (13) State and local government pension plans should divest 
        themselves of all non-United States companies investing more 
        than $20,000,000 in Iran's energy sector;
            (14) the United States should designate the Iranian Islamic 
        Revolutionary Guards Corps, which purveys terrorism throughout 
        the Middle East and plays an important role in the Iranian 
        economy, as a foreign terrorist organization under section 219 
        of the Immigration and Nationality Act, place the Iranian 
        Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps on the list of specially 
        designated global terrorists, and place the Iranian Islamic 
        Revolutionary Guards Corps on the list of weapons of mass 
        destruction proliferators and their supporters;
            (15) United States concerns regarding Iran are strictly the 
        result of actions of the Government of Iran; and
            (16) the American people have feelings of friendship for 
        the Iranian people, regret that developments of recent decades 
        have created impediments to that friendship, and hold the 
        Iranian people, their culture, and their ancient and rich 
        history in the highest esteem.

  TITLE I--SUPPORT FOR DIPLOMATIC EFFORTS RELATING TO PREVENTING IRAN 
                     FROM ACQUIRING NUCLEAR WEAPONS

SEC. 101. SUPPORT FOR INTERNATIONAL DIPLOMATIC EFFORTS.

    It is the sense of the Congress that--
            (1) the United States should use diplomatic and economic 
        means to resolve the Iranian nuclear problem;
            (2) the United States should continue to support efforts in 
        the International Atomic Energy Agency and the United Nations 
        Security Council to bring about an end to Iran's uranium 
        enrichment program and its nuclear weapons program; and
            (3)(A) United Nations Security Council Resolution 1737 was 
        a useful first step toward pressing Iran to end its nuclear 
        weapons program; and
            (B) in light of Iran's continued defiance of the 
        international community, the United Nations Security Council 
        should adopt additional measures against Iran, including 
        measures to prohibit investments in Iran's energy sector.

SEC. 102. PEACEFUL EFFORTS BY THE UNITED STATES.

    Nothing in this Act shall be construed as authorizing the use of
