    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Iran Nuclear Nonproliferation Act of 
2006''.

SEC. 2. STATEMENT OF POLICY.

    It should be the policy of the United States to neither negotiate 
nor seek to bring into force an agreement for cooperation with the 
government of any country that is assisting the nuclear program of Iran 
or transferring advanced conventional weapons or missiles to Iran 
unless the President has made--
            (1) the determination set forth in section 3(a)(1) with 
        respect to Iran; or
            (2) the determination set forth in section 3(a)(2) with 
        respect to the government of that country.

SEC. 3. RESTRICTIONS ON NUCLEAR COOPERATION WITH COUNTRIES ASSISTING 
              THE NUCLEAR PROGRAM OF IRAN.

    (a) In General.--Notwithstanding any other provision of law or any 
international agreement, no agreement for cooperation between the 
United States and the government of any country that is assisting the 
nuclear program of Iran or transferring advanced conventional weapons 
or missiles to Iran may be submitted to the President or to Congress 
pursuant to section 123 of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 (42 U.S.C. 
2153), no such agreement may enter into force with such country, no 
license may be issued for export directly or indirectly to such country 
of any nuclear material, facilities, components, or other goods, 
services, or technology that would be subject to such agreement, and no 
approval may be given for the transfer or retransfer directly or 
indirectly to such country of any nuclear material, facilities, 
components, or other goods, services, or technology that would be 
subject to such agreement, until the President determines and reports 
to the Committee on Foreign Relations of the Senate and the Committee 
on International Relations of the House of Representatives that--
            (1) Iran has suspended all enrichment-related and 
        reprocessing-related activity (including uranium conversion, 
        and research and development, manufacturing, testing, and 
        assembly relating to enrichment and reprocessing), has 
        committed to verifiably refrain permanently from such activity 
        in the future (except potentially the conversion of uranium 
        exclusively for export to foreign nuclear fuel production 
        facilities pursuant to internationally agreed arrangements and 
        subject to strict international safeguards), and is abiding by 
        that commitment; or
            (2) the government of the country that is assisting the 
        nuclear program of Iran or transferring advanced conventional 
        weapons or missiles to Iran--
                    (A) has, either on its own initiative or pursuant 
                to a binding decision of the United Nations Security 
                Council, suspended all nuclear assistance to Iran and 
                all transfers of advanced conventional weapons and 
                missiles to Iran pending a decision by Iran to 
                implement measures that would permit the President to 
                make the determination described in paragraph (1); and
                    (B) is committed to maintaining that suspension 
                until Iran has implemented measures that would permit 
                the President to make such determination.
    (b) Construction.--The restrictions in subsection (a)--
            (1) shall apply in addition to all other applicable 
        procedures, requirements, and restrictions contained in the 
        Atomic Energy Act of 1954 and other laws; and
            (2) shall not be construed as affecting the validity of 
        agreements for cooperation that are in effect on the date of 
        the enactment of this Act.
