It is the sense of Congress that the United States should coordinate with allies of the United States and other allies and partners whose citizens may be subject to politically-motivated detention or trial in Iran to apply sanctions against Iranian persons that are responsible for or complicit in, or responsible for ordering, controlling, or otherwise directing, such detention or trial. Title I of the Comprehensive Iran Sanctions, Accountability, and Divestment Act of 2010 ( 22 U.S.C. 8511 et seq.) is amended by inserting after section 105C ( 22 U.S.C. 8514c ) the following:
The President shall impose sanctions described in section 105(c) with respect to each person on the list required by subsection (b). Not later than 180 days after the date of the enactment of the Iran Hostage Act , the President shall submit to the appropriate congressional committees a list of Iranian persons that the President determines are knowingly responsible for or complicit in, or responsible for ordering or otherwise directing, the politically-motivated harassment, abuse, extortion, arrest, trial, conviction, sentencing, or imprisonment of citizens of the United States or lawful permanent resident aliens with significant ties to the United States, regardless of whether such actions occurred in Iran.
The President shall submit to the appropriate congressional committees an updated list under paragraph (1)— each time the President is required to submit an updated list to those committees under section 105(b)(2)(A); and as new information becomes available. The list required by paragraph
(1)shall be submitted in unclassified form but may contain a classified annex. The unclassified portion of the list required by paragraph
(1)shall be made available to the public and posted on the websites of the Department of the Treasury and the Department of State. The President may impose sanctions described in paragraph
(2)with respect to each person that is a family member of any person on the list required by subsection (b). If the President imposes sanctions described in this paragraph, an alien who the Secretary of State or the Secretary of Homeland Security (or a designee of one of such Secretaries) knows, or has reason to believe, is a family member of any person on the list required by subsection
(b)is— inadmissible to the United States; ineligible to receive a visa or other documentation to enter the United States; and otherwise ineligible to be admitted or paroled into the United States or to receive any other benefit under the Immigration and Nationality Act ( 8 U.S.C. 1101 et seq.). If the President imposes sanctions described in this paragraph, the issuing consular officer, the Secretary of State, or the Secretary of Homeland Security (or a designee of one of such Secretaries) shall revoke any visa or other entry documentation issued to an alien who is a family member of any person on the list required by subsection
(b)regardless of when issued. A revocation under clause (i)— shall take effect immediately; and shall automatically cancel any other valid visa or entry documentation that is in the alien’s possession. Sanctions under paragraph
(2)shall not apply to an alien if admitting the alien into the United States is necessary to permit the United States to comply with the Agreement regarding the Headquarters of the United Nations, signed at Lake Success June 26, 1947, and entered into force November 21, 1947, between the United Nations and the United States, or other applicable international obligations. In this subsection, the term family member means, with respect to an individual— a spouse, child, parent, sibling, grandchild, or grandparent of the individual; and a child, parent, or sibling of the spouse of the individual. The provisions of this section shall terminate on the date that is 30 days after the date on which the President— determines and certifies to the appropriate congressional committees that the Government of Iran is no longer complicit in or responsible for the wrongful and unlawful detention of United States citizens or lawful permanent resident aliens with significant ties to the United States; and transmits to the appropriate congressional committees the certification described in section 105(d). .
