It is the sense of Congress that— the maximum pressure campaign carried out by the United States against Iran has reduced the resources available for Iran and the al-Assad regime to carry out war crimes in Syria; and a condition for the lifting of the sanctions that are a part of such maximum pressure campaign should continue to include the demand that Iran ceases its destabilizing activities in Syria and withdraws all of its forces and commanded militias from the country. Not later than 120 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of State, in consultation with the Secretary of the Treasury, shall submit to the appropriate congressional committees a report on— the status of United States bilateral sanctions on Iran; the reimposition and renewed enforcement of secondary sanctions on Iran; the impact such sanctions have had on Iran’s support to the al-Assad regime in Syria; the impact that lifting such sanctions would have on Iran’s ability to commit human rights abuses against the people of Syria, including through a detailed description of whether or not lifting such sanctions would increase the resources available for Iran to support gross human rights abuses, including torture, extrajudicial killings, and the killing of protesters in Syria; and the impact that lifting such sanctions would have on the funds available for the al-Assad regime to commit gross human rights abuses.
