No Arms Sales to Iran Act

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``No Arms Sales to Iran Act''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds the following:
            (1) United Nations Security Council Resolution 2231 (2015) 
        which endorses implementation of the Joint Comprehensive Plan 
        of Action also provides restrictions on ballistic missile-
        related transfers to or activities with Iran absent case-by-
        case approval by the United Nations Security Council.
            (2) Iran has conducted at least three ballistic missile 
        tests since implementation of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of 
        Action in 2015.
            (3) Iran continues to pursue a policy of destabilization 
        throughout the Middle East, relying on proxies and direct 
        military engagement to challenge United States partners and 
        threaten Israel.
            (4) Various countries have reportedly proposed arms 
        transfers to or activities with Iran despite Iran's ongoing 
        regional aggression.

SEC. 3. SENSE OF CONGRESS.

    It is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) arms transfers to or activities with Iran would empower 
        Iran to further destabilize the region and would undermine core 
        objectives of regional peace; and
            (2) the Secretary of State, through bilateral engagement 
        and multilateral fora, should diplomatically engage with the 
        governments of countries that have reportedly proposed arms 
        transfers to or activities with Iran and with other United 
        Nations Security Council member states in order to prevent such 
        transfers or activities.

SEC. 4. REPORT.

    Not later than 90 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, 
and annually thereafter, the Secretary of State shall submit to 
Congress a report on each covered activity or transfer, and the 
diplomatic responses of the United States to each such covered activity 
or transfer, that is proposed during the one-year period preceding the 
date of the submission of the report.

              ARMS TRANSFERS AND ACTIVITIES WITH RESPECT TO IRAN.
