TITLE III—SANCTIONS WITH RE-
SPECT 
TO 
THE 
BALLISTIC 
MISSILE PROGRAM OF IRAN 
SEC. 301. FINDINGS. 
Congress finds the following: 
(1) On April 2, 2015, President Barack Obama 
said, ‘‘Other American sanctions on Iran for its sup-
port of terrorism, its human rights abuses, its bal-
listic missile program, will continue to be fully en-
forced.’’. 
(2) On July 7, 2015, General Martin Dempsey, 
then-Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said, 
‘‘Under no circumstances should we relieve the pres-

sure on Iran relative to ballistic missile capabili-
ties.’’. 
(3) On July 29, 2015, in his role as the top 
military officer in the United States and advisor to 
the President, General Dempsey confirmed that his 
military recommendation was that sanctions relating 
to the ballistic missile program of Iran not be lifted. 
(4) The Government of Iran and Iran’s Revolu-
tionary Guard Corps have been responsible for the 
repeated testing of illegal ballistic missiles capable of 
carrying a nuclear device, including observed tests in 
October and November 2015 and March 2016, vio-
lating United Nations Security Council resolutions. 
(5) On October 14, 2015, Samantha Power, 
United States Ambassador to the United Nations, 
said, ‘‘One of the really important features in imple-
mentation of the recent Iran deal to dismantle Iran’s 
nuclear program is going to have to be enforcement 
of the resolutions and the standards that remain on 
the books.’’. 
(6) On December 11, 2015, the United Nations 
Panel of Experts concluded that the missile launch 
on October 10, 2015, ‘‘was a violation by Iran of 
paragraph 9 of Security Council resolution 1929 
(2010)’’.

(7) On January 17, 2016, Adam Szubin, Acting 
Under Secretary for Terrorism and Financial Intel-
ligence, stated, ‘‘Iran’s ballistic missile program 
poses a significant threat to regional and global se-
curity, and it will continue to be subject to inter-
national sanctions. We have consistently made clear 
that the United States will vigorously press sanc-
tions against Iranian activities outside of the Joint 
Comprehensive Plan of Action—including those re-
lated to Iran’s support for terrorism, regional desta-
bilization, human rights abuses, and ballistic missile 
program.’’. 
(8) On February 9, 2016, James Clapper, Di-
rector of National Intelligence, testified that, ‘‘We 
judge that Tehran would choose ballistic missiles as 
its preferred method of delivering nuclear weapons, 
if it builds them. Iran’s ballistic missiles are inher-
ently capable of delivering WMD, and Tehran al-
ready has the largest inventory of ballistic missiles 
in the Middle East. Iran’s progress on space launch 
vehicles—along with its desire to deter the United 
States and its allies—provides Tehran with the 
means and motivation to develop longer-range mis-
siles, including ICBMs.’’.

(9) On March 9, 2016, Iran reportedly fired 
two Qadr ballistic missiles with a range of more 
than 1,000 miles and according to public reports, 
the missiles were marked with a statement in He-
brew reading, ‘‘Israel must be wiped off the arena 
of time.’’. 
(10) On March 11, 2016, Ambassador Power 
called the recent ballistic missile launches by Iran 
‘‘provocative and destabilizing’’ and called on the 
international community to ‘‘degrade Iran’s missile 
program’’. 
(11) On March 14, 2016, Ambassador Power 
said that the recent ballistic missile launches by Iran 
were ‘‘in defiance of provisions of UN Security 
Council Resolution 2231’’. 
(12) Iran has demonstrated the ability to 
launch multiple rockets from fortified underground 
facilities and mobile launch sites not previously 
known. 
(13) The ongoing procurement by Iran of tech-
nologies needed to boost the range, accuracy, and 
payloads of its diverse ballistic missile arsenal rep-
resents a threat to deployed personnel of the United 
States and allies of the United States in Europe and 
the Middle East, including Israel.

(14) Ashton Carter, Secretary of Defense, testi-
fied in a hearing before the Armed Services Com-
mittee of the Senate on July 7, 2015, that, ‘‘[T]he 
reason that we want to stop Iran from having an 
ICBM program is that the I in ICBM stands for 
intercontinental, which means having the capability 
to fly from Iran to the United States, and we don’t 
want that. That’s why we oppose ICBMs.’’. 
(15) Through recent ballistic missile launch 
tests the Government of Iran has shown blatant dis-
regard for international laws and its intention to 
continue tests of that nature throughout the imple-
mentation of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Ac-
tion. 
(16) The banking sector of Iran has facilitated 
the financing of the ballistic missile programs in 
Iran and evidence has not been provided that enti-
ties in that sector have ceased facilitating the financ-
ing of those programs. 
(17) Iran has been able to amass a large arse-
nal of ballistic missiles through its illicit smuggling 
networks and domestic manufacturing capabilities 
that have been supported and maintained by Iran’s 
Revolutionary Guard Corps and specific sectors of 
the economy of Iran.

(18) Penetration by Iran’s Revolutionary Guard 
Corps into the economy of Iran is well documented 
including investments in the construction, auto-
motive, telecommunications, electronics, mining, 
metallurgy, and petrochemical sectors of the econ-
omy of Iran. 
(19) Items procured through sectors of Iran 
specified in paragraph (18) have dual use applica-
tions that are currently being used to create ballistic 
missiles in Iran and will continue to be a source of 
materials for the creation of future weapons. 
(20) In order to curb future illicit activity by 
Iran, the Government of the United States and the 
international community must take action against 
persons that facilitate and profit from the illegal ac-
quisition of ballistic missile parts and technology in 
support of the missile programs of Iran. 
SEC. 302. SENSE OF CONGRESS. 
It is the sense of Congress that— 
(1) the ballistic missile program of Iran rep-
resents a serious threat to allies of the United States 
in the Middle East and Europe, members of the 
Armed Forces deployed in the those regions, and ul-
timately the United States;

(2) the testing and production by Iran of bal-
listic missiles capable of carrying a nuclear device is 
a clear violation of United Nations Security Council 
Resolution 2231 (2015), which was unanimously 
adopted by the international community; 
(3) Iran is using its space launch program to 
develop the capabilities necessary to deploy an inter-
continental ballistic missile that could threaten the 
United States, and the Director of National Intel-
ligence has assessed that Iran would use ballistic 
missiles as its ‘‘preferred method of delivering nu-
clear weapons’’; and 
(4) the Government of the United States should 
impose tough primary and secondary sanctions 
against any sector of the economy of Iran or any 
Iranian person that directly or indirectly supports 
the ballistic missile program of Iran as well as any 
foreign person or financial institution that engages 
in transactions or trade that support that program.
