Congress finds the following: Transfers to and from Iran of arms or related materiel or military equipment represent a continuing threat to regional and international security, as evidenced by Iran’s continued military support that fuels ongoing conflict in Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, and Yemen. Iran benefits from engaging in the conventional arms trade by strengthening its relationships with other outlier regimes, lessening its international isolation, and deriving revenue that it uses to support terror groups and fund malign activities.
Chinese and Russian arms transfers to Iran are a threat to the national security of the United States and to its allies and partners in the region, including Israel, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and others. The arms embargo imposed on Iran by the United Nations Security Council found in United National Security Council Resolutions 1747 and 1929 was terminated by the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), otherwise known as the Iran nuclear deal, which ended the long-standing prohibition on arms transfers to and from Iran in October 2020 as part of UN Security Council Resolution 2231.
In response to the expiration of the United Nations arms embargo, the United States imposed sanctions on international arms transfers to and from Iran in Executive Order 13949 (85 Fed. Reg. 60043) issued on September 21, 2020.
