(I) the diplomatic and other efforts of the

(2) or (3) of section 5(a) of the Iran Sanctions 
Act of 1996, as amended by subsection (a) 
of this section; and 
(bb) to encourage other governments to 
dissuade persons over which those govern-
ments have jurisdiction from engaging in such 
activities; 
(II) the successes and failures of the efforts 
described in subclause (I); and 
(III) each investigation under section 4(e) of 
the Iran Sanctions Act of 1996, as amended by

pursuant to subparagraph (C) of this paragraph, 
or any other review of an activity described in
fined petroleum, may help to persuade the Govern-
ment of Iran to abandon its illicit nuclear activities. 
(5) On October 7, 2008, then-Senator Obama 
stated, ‘‘Iran right now imports gasoline, even 
though it’s an oil producer, because its oil infra-
structure has broken down. If we can prevent them 
from importing the gasoline that they need and the 
refined petroleum products, that starts changing 
their cost-benefit analysis. That starts putting the 
squeeze on them.’’. 
(6) On June 4, 2008, then-Senator Obama 
stated, ‘‘We should work with Europe, Japan, and 
the Gulf states to find every avenue outside the U.N. 
to isolate the Iranian regime—from cutting off loan 
guarantees and expanding financial sanctions, to 
banning the export of refined petroleum to Iran.’’. 
(7) Major European allies, including the United 
Kingdom, France, and Germany, have advocated 
that sanctions be significantly toughened should 
international diplomatic efforts fail to achieve 
verifiable suspension of Iran’s uranium enrichment 
program and an end to its nuclear weapons program 
and other illicit nuclear activities. 
(8) The serious and urgent nature of the threat 
from Iran demands that the United States work to-

gether with U.S. allies to do everything possible— 
diplomatically, politically, and economically—to pre-
vent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapons capa-
bility. 
(b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of the 
Congress that— 
(1) international diplomatic efforts to address 
Iran’s illicit nuclear efforts, unconventional and bal-
listic missile development programs, and support for 
international terrorism are more likely to be effective 
if the President is empowered with the explicit au-
thority to impose additional sanctions on the Gov-
ernment of Iran; 
(2) the concerns of the United States regarding 
Iran are strictly the result of the actions of the Gov-
ernment of Iran; and 
(3) the people of the United States— 
(A) have feelings of friendship for the peo-
ple of Iran; 
(B) regret that developments in recent dec-
ades have created impediments to that friend-
ship; and 
(C) hold the people of Iran, their culture, 
and their ancient and rich history in the highest 
esteem.

(c) STATEMENT OF POLICY.—It should be the policy 
of the United States to— 
(1) support international diplomatic efforts to 
end Iran’s uranium enrichment program and its nu-
clear weapons program; 
(2) encourage foreign governments to direct 
state-owned entities to cease all investment in, and 
support of, Iran’s energy sector and all exports of 
refined petroleum products to Iran; 
(3) encourage foreign governments to require 
private entities based in their territories to cease all 
investment in, and support of, Iran’s energy sector 
and all exports of refined petroleum products to 
Iran; 
(4) impose sanctions on the Central Bank of 
Iran and any other Iranian bank or financial institu-
tion engaged in proliferation activities or support of 
terrorist groups; and 
(5) work with the allies of the United States to 
take appropriate measures to protect the inter-
national financial system from deceptive and illicit 
practices by Iranian banks and financial institutions 
involved in proliferation activities or support of ter-
rorist groups.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS; SENSE OF CONGRESS. 
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds the following: 
(1) The illicit nuclear activities of the Govern-
ment of Iran—combined with its development of un-
conventional weapons and ballistic missiles, and sup-
port for international terrorism—represent a serious 
threat to the security of the United States and U.S. 
allies in Europe, the Middle East, and around the 
world. 
(2) The United States and other responsible na-
tions have a vital interest in working together to 
prevent the Government of Iran from acquiring a 
nuclear weapons capability. 
(3) The International Atomic Energy Agency 
has repeatedly called attention to Iran’s unlawful 
nuclear activities, and, as a result, the United Na-
tions Security Council has adopted a range of sanc-
tions designed to encourage the Government of Iran 
to cease those activities and comply with its obliga-
tions under the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of 
Nuclear Weapons (commonly known as the ‘‘Nuclear 
Non-Proliferation Treaty’’). 
(4) As a presidential candidate, then-Senator 
Obama stated that additional sanctions, especially 
those targeting Iran’s dependence on imported re-
