SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Iranian Energy Sector and 
Proliferation Sanctions Act''.

SEC. 2. EXPANSION OF SANCTIONS WITH RESPECT TO THE ENERGY SECTOR OF 
              IRAN.

    (a) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress that--
            (1) as noted in United Nations Security Council Resolution 
        1929 (2010), the revenues derived by the Government of Iran 
        from the energy sector of Iran may be used to fund Iran's 
        proliferation-sensitive nuclear activities; and
            (2) the energy sector of Iran should be regarded as a zone 
        of proliferation concern with which no legitimate international 
        business should be conducted.
    (b) Imposition of Sanctions With Respect to Certain Entities in the 
Energy Sector of Iran.--
            (1) In general.--Except as specifically provided in this 
        section, beginning on the date that is 60 days after the date 
        of the enactment of this Act, the President shall impose 
        sanctions pursuant to the International Emergency Economic 
        Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) with respect to any person 
        that conducts any transaction with, or invests in, any entity 
        described in paragraph (2).
            (2) Entity described.--An entity described in this

                        gas, or petrochemical products, without regard 
                        to whether such development, production, 
                        extraction, or transportation occurs in Iran;

From Iran.--Sanctions imposed pursuant to subsection (b) shall not 
apply with respect to a person that purchases crude oil from Iran, or
