SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE. 
This Act may be cited as the ‘‘Iran Ballistic Missiles 
and International Sanctions Enforcement Act’’. 
SEC. 2. SANCTIONS RELATING TO EFFORTS BY THE GOV-
ERNMENT OF IRAN WITH RESPECT TO BAL-
LISTIC MISSILE-RELATED GOODS, SERVICES, 
AND TECHNOLOGIES. 
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds the following: 
(1) United Nations Security Council Resolution 
2231 (2015)— 
(A) calls upon Iran ‘‘not to undertake any 
activity related to ballistic missiles designed to 
be capable of delivering nuclear weapons, in-
cluding launches using such ballistic missile 
technology’’; and 
(B) requires member states to ‘‘take the 
necessary measures to prevent, except as de-
cided otherwise by the UN Security Council in 
advance on a case-by-case basis, the supply, 
sale, or transfer of arms or related materiel 
from Iran’’. 
(2) The United States maintains bilateral sanc-
tions against Iran for its efforts to manufacture, ac-
quire, possess, develop, transport, transfer or use 
ballistic missiles or ballistic missile launch tech-
nology, and its acquisition of destabilizing types and 
amounts of conventional weapons. 
(3) According to the 2016 Worldwide Threat 
Assessment, the United States intelligence commu-
nity judges ‘‘that Tehran would choose ballistic mis-
siles as its preferred method of delivering nuclear 
weapons, if it builds them. Iran’s ballistic missiles 
are inherently capable of delivering [weapons of 
mass destruction], and Tehran already has the larg-
est 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 missiles, including ICBMs.’’. 
(4) Since the passage of United Nations Secu-
rity Council 2231, Iran has conducted numerous 
tests of ballistic missiles designed to be capable of 
delivering nuclear weapons, and has acquired desta-
bilizing types of conventional weapons. 
(5) Iran has pursued the ability to indigenously 
produce ballistic missile and cruise missile goods, 
services, and technologies. 
(b) STATEMENT OF POLICY.—It is the policy of the 
United States to prevent Iran from undertaking any activ-
ity related to ballistic missiles designed to be capable of
delivering nuclear weapons, including launches using such 
ballistic missile technology. 
(c) REPORT ON SUPPLY CHAIN OF IRAN’S BALLISTIC 
MISSILE PROGRAM.— 
(1) IN
GENERAL.—Not later than 180 days

and domestic supply chain in Iran that directly 
or indirectly significantly facilitates, supports, 
or otherwise aids the Government of Iran’s bal-
listic missile program. 
(B) A description of the geographic dis-
tribution of the foreign and domestic supply 
chain described in subparagraph (A). 
(C) An assessment of the Government of 
Iran’s ability to indigenously manufacture or
