Iran Sanctions Extension Act of 2006 - Amends the Iran and Libya Sanctions Act of 1996 to extend the authorities under such Act with respect to Iran. (Sanctions under such Act no longer apply to Libya pursuant to Presidential Determination 2004-30, April 23, 2004.)
Extends the Iran and Libya Sanctions Act of 1996 to continue penalizing companies that invest in Iran's oil and gas sectors or do business with Iranian military entities. Libya sanctions under the same law were already lifted in 2004.
VoteLog classifies this as pro-Israel based on institutional practice: Iran sanctions are tracked because they align with pro-Israel foreign policy priorities in Congress, though this bill itself contains no explicit Israel or Palestine language. The classification reflects the documented pattern that Iran containment and Israel security advocacy operate together in the legislative record.
