Solidify Iran Sanctions Act of 2025 This bill eliminates a sunset clause in the Iran Sanctions Act of 1996, thereby making the act permanent. The Iran Sanctions Act requires the President, with some exceptions, to impose sanctions on certain individuals or entities engaged in specified transactions related to Iran's energy sector or Iran's efforts to acquire or develop certain weapons (such as chemical, biological, or nuclear weapons).
This bill removes the expiration date from the Iran Sanctions Act of 1996, making it permanent law. The act requires the President to impose sanctions on individuals and companies that do business with Iran's oil and gas sector or help Iran develop chemical, biological, or nuclear weapons.
The bill locks in long-standing Iran sanctions without congressional re-authorization. Since Iran and Israel are regional adversaries, permanent sanctions affect the strategic balance Congress has maintained through periodic review of Iran policy.
