Solidify Iran Sanctions Act of 2022
S 4746, the Solidify Iran Sanctions Act of 2022, permanently extends existing U.S. sanctions against Iran by removing the expiration date from the Iran Sanctions Act of 1996. This bill directly affects Iran's government and entities involved in its weapons programs, ballistic missile development, or support for terrorism (including groups like the Revolutionary Guards Corps). The key provision repeals the "sunset" clause in the 1996 law, ensuring sanctions remain in place indefinitely without requiring annual renewal. It does not impose new sanctions but makes current penalties permanent.
