Maximum Pressure Act
Bill: H.R.2718 | Sponsor: Rep. Banks, Jim (R-IN)
Policy area: International Affairs

Summary:
Maximum Pressure Act
This bill expands sanctions and economic penalties on Iran. It also restricts the President from unilaterally lifting or waiving the sanctions or penalties and increases congressional oversight of them.
Specifically, the bill requires the President to impose visa- and asset-blocking sanctions. Additionally, it modifies existing sanctions, including by (1) providing statutory authority for executive orders imposing sanctions; (2) applying sanctions to additional sectors of Iran's economy; and (3) broadening sanctionable conduct to cover, for example, assisting Iran with the acquisition of ballistic missiles and the complicity of Iranian officials in human rights violations in specified countries. The bill also requires reporting on licenses that authorize activities subject to sanctions.
The bill prohibits U.S. representatives at the International Monetary Fund from voting to allow Iran's access to special drawing rights (a currency support tool) and places restrictions on financial transactions with Iran. The restrictions include requiring domestic financial institutions to implement special measures with respect to foreign financial institutions that conduct significant transactions connected to the Instrument in Support of Trade Exchanges (a European mechanism that bypasses U.S. sanctions when carrying out trade with Iran).
The Department of State must maintain the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps' designation as a terrorist organization and must designate Ansharallah (or Houthis), which operates in Syria, as a foreign terrorist organization.
The bill also requires reports on U.S. sanctions concerning Iran, the status of Iran's nuclear weapons program, and other matters.

To impose additional sanctions with respect to Iran and modify other 
    existing sanctions with respect to Iran, and for other purposes.

    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds the following:
            (1) Iran is the world's leading state sponsor of terrorism. 
        It seeks ``death to America'' and the destruction of the state 
        of Israel.
            (2) Iran's pursuit of nuclear weapons, its destabilizing 
        behavior in the Middle East, its support of terrorism, its 
        development of ballistic missiles, and its gross violations of 
        human rights against its own people and the peoples of the 
        Middle East are a threat to the national security of the United 
        States, our allies, and international peace and security.
            (3) Iran and its proxies have planned, directed, sponsored, 
        and funded terrorist plots throughout the world and on United 
        States soil, including the 2011 attempted assassination of the 
        Saudi Arabian Ambassador to the United States in Washington, 
        DC, the 1994 bombing of the Asociacion Mutual Israelita 
        Argentina in Buenos Aires, Argentina which killed over 85 
        people, and the 2012 bus bombing in Burgas, Bulgaria which 
        killed five Israelis.
            (4) According to multiple American Directors of National 
        Intelligence, Iran has the largest arsenal of ballistic 
        missiles in the Middle East. Iran is also developing a robust 
        cruise missile arsenal and advanced drone capability, which 
        threaten American and allied air and missile defenses.
            (5) Iran tests, transfers, and even uses these systems in 
        military operations abroad.
            (6) Iran has given ballistic missiles and associated 
        technology to the Houthis in Yemen, Shiite militias in Iraq, 
        the Assad regime in Syria, and Hezbollah in Lebanon, and is 
        also helping to traffic precision-guided munitions parts 
        through the Middle East to upgrade the rocket forces of its 
        chief proxy, Hezbollah.
            (7) Iran continues to hold Americans hostage, including 
        Baquer and Siamak Namazi, Bob Levinson, and others.
            (8) The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action negotiated by 
        former President Barack Obama was fatally flawed, did not 
        eliminate Iran's pathway to a nuclear weapons, and allowed Iran 
        to retain and refine its nuclear weapons capability.
            (9) The verification and compliance mechanisms of the 
        failed Iran nuclear deal were weak and insufficient.
            (10) The failed Iran nuclear agreement did nothing to 
        address Iran's continued development of ballistic and cruise 
        missiles capable of delivering nuclear warheads.
            (11) The failed Iran nuclear agreement provided Iran with 
        over $100,000,000,000 in sanctions relief that was used by Iran 
        to fuel proxy wars across the Middle East, including supporting 
        the brutal regime of Bashar al-Assad in Syria, and lining the 
        pockets of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, Hizballah, 
        Hamas, the Houthis, and the Iranian backed terrorist militias 
        in Iraq.
            (12) The failed Iran nuclear agreement lifted the United 
        Nations arms embargo on Iran in October 2020, permitting Russia 
        and China to engage in international arms sales with Iran. This 
        also allows Iran to proliferate weapons across the world 
        including to Venezuela and the Assad regime in Syria.
            (13) A central strategic flaw of the failed Iran nuclear 
        deal was the idea that an agreement with Iran should solely 
        focus on the issue of nuclear weapons alone, and not address 
        non-nuclear issues.
            (14) On May 21, 2018, two weeks after President Trump 
        withdrew from the failed Iran nuclear deal, former Secretary of 
        State Mike Pompeo made an address at The Heritage Foundation 
        entitled ``After the Deal: A New Iran Strategy'' where he 
        announced that the Trump administration would ``apply 
        unprecedented financial pressure on the Iranian regime'' and 
        laid out twelve demands that would need to be met by Iran as 
        part of any agreement related to the lifting of sanctions, and 
        the re-establishment of diplomatic and commercial relations 
        with Iran.
            (15) In his remarks on May 21, 2018, Pompeo stated that 
        ``Iran advanced its march across the Middle East during the 
        JCPOA. Qasem Soleimani has been playing with house money that 
        has become blood money. Wealth created by the West has fueled 
        his campaigns. Strategically, the Obama administration made a 
        bet that the deal would spur Iran to stop its rogue state 
        actions and conform to international norms. That bet was a 
        loser with massive repercussions for all of the people living 
        in the Middle East.''.
            (16) Former President Donald J. Trump's maximum pressure 
        campaign on Iran denied the regime unprecedented revenue it 
        would have otherwise spent on terrorism.
            (17) On December 31, 2019, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani 
        admitted that Iran had lost $200 billion in revenue because of 
        U.S. sanctions.
            (18) Iran's oil minister Bijan Zanganeh on three separate 
        occasions has likened U.S. sanctions under the maximum pressure 
        campaign to having made the economic situation worse than the 
        Iran-Iraq War (1980-1988).
            (19) Iran's 2019 defense budget cut defense spending by 28 
        percent, including a 17 percent cut to the Iranian Islamic 
        Revolutionary Guard Corps, a designated foreign terrorist 
        organization.
            (20) The Iranian rial lost around 70 percent of its value 
        since the beginning of President Trump's maximum pressure 
        campaign.
            (21) According to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), 
        Iran's accessible foreign exchange reserves plunged to $4 
        billion in 2020 from $123 billion in 2018, or a decrease of 
        over 96 percent.
            (22) Due to the maximum pressure campaign, Hezbollah 
        terrorists and Iranian backed militias were denied resources 
        and were forced to cut salaries of their fighters.
            (23) During the maximum pressure campaign, the United 
        States was able to achieve the release of two hostages in Iran, 
        Xiyue Wang and Michael White, without lifting sanctions or 
        transferring cash to Iran.
            (24) Former Special Representative for Syria Engagement 
        James Jeffery stated on May 20th, 2020, ``We have seen the 
        Iranians pulling in some of their outlying activities and such 
        in Syria because of, frankly, financial problems . . . in terms 
        of the huge success of the Trump administration's sanctions 
        policies against Iran. It's having a real effect in Syria.''.
            (25) President Joe Biden has repeatedly pledged to re-enter 
        the failed Iran nuclear agreement and lift sanctions on Iran if 
        Iran comes into compliance with the agreement.
            (26) On March 2, 2021, the Republican Study Committee's 
        Steering Committee formally adopted an official position 
        supporting former President Trump's maximum pressure campaign 
        on Iran and pledged to work to fight against and work to 
        reverse any and all sanctions relief for Iran unless Iran met 
        all 12 demands laid out by former Secretary of State Pompeo.
            (27) On March 18, 2021, in an interview with BBC Persian, 
        President Biden's Special Envoy for Iran Robert Malley stated 
        ``President Biden and all of his senior advisers have said 
        this--the maximum pressure campaign has failed. It was a 
        failure, a predicted failure. It hasn't made life any better 
        for the Iranian people; it hasn't made life any better for the 
        U.S. and the region; it hasn't brought us any closer to this 
        better deal that President Trump spoke about.''.

SEC. 3. STATEMENT OF POLICY.

    It is the policy of the United States as follows:
            (1) To deny Iran all paths to a nuclear weapon and 
        intercontinental ballistic missiles capability, including by

        capabilities related to enrichment.
            (2) To roll back the totality of Iran's malign influence 
        and activities in the Middle East.
            (3) To support the human rights of the people of Iran.
            (4) To require that any new agreement with Iran should be 
        submitted to the Senate for ratification as a treaty.
            (5) To impose maximum economic pressure on Iran, and keep 
        all sanctions in place on Iran, until the regime fulfills the 
        following 12 demands laid out by former Secretary of State 
        Pompeo on May 21, 2018:
                    (A) Iran must declare to the International Atomic 
                Energy Agency a full account of the prior military 
                dimensions of its nuclear program, and permanently and 
                verifiably abandon such work in perpetuity.
                    (B) Iran must stop enrichment and never pursue 
                plutonium reprocessing, including closing its heavy 
                water reactor.
                    (C) Iran must also provide the International Atomic 
                Energy Agency with unqualified access to all sites 
                throughout the entire country.
                    (D) Iran must end its proliferation of ballistic 
                missiles and halt further launching or development of

                    (E) Iran must release all United States citizens as 
                well as citizens of United States partners and allies, 
                each of them detained on spurious charges.
                    (F) Iran must end its support for terrorism, 
                including Hezbollah, Hamas and Palestinian Islamic 
                Jihad.
                    (G) Iran must respect the sovereignty of the Iraqi 
                government and permit the disarming, demobilization and 
                reintegration of Iranian backed militias.
                    (H) Iran must end its military support for the 
                Houthi terrorists and work towards a peaceful, 
                political settlement in Yemen.
                    (I) Iran must withdraw all forces under Iranian 
                command throughout the entirety of Syria.

                Corps' Quds Force's support for terrorists around the 
                world.
                    (L) Iran must end its threatening behavior against 
                its neighbors including its threats to destroy Israel 
                and its firing of missiles at Saudi Arabia and the 
                United Arab Emirates, and threats to international 
                shipping and destructive cyberattacks.

                        the joint resolution within 2 calendar days 
                        after the date of referral, that committee 
                        shall be discharged from further consideration 
                        of the joint resolution.
                            (iii) Beginning on the third legislative

                        resolution to the House or has been discharged

                        the Senate receives an identical joint 
                        resolution from the House of Representatives, 
                        that joint resolution shall be placed on the

essential step to hold Iran's proxies accountable.

        Houthis are responsible for a number of terrorist acts, 
        ``including cross-border attacks threatening civilian 
        populations, infrastructure, and commercial shipping.''.
    (c) Designation Required.--Not later than 10 days after the date of

waivers issued in relation to the designation of Ansarallah as a 
Foreign Terrorist Organization or its placement on the list of 
Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons that were in effect 
as of January 20, 2021, shall return to force and remain in effect as 
long as Ansarallah is designated as a foreign terrorist organization 
and remains on the list of Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked 
Persons.
    (f) Limitation on Future Waiver Authority.--Except as provided in 
subsection (e), no waiver or license with respect to the designation of
