The United States, in 2025, declared through National Security Presidential Memorandum 2 (NSPM–2), issued by President Donald J. Trump on February 4, 2025, and has reaffirmed since, that The United States will pursue a policy of maximum economic and diplomatic pressure on the Iranian regime to deny it all paths to a nuclear weapon, curtail its ballistic missile program, and counter its support for terrorist proxies, including but not limited to Ansar Allah and Hezbollah, until such time as Iran ceases its malign activities and complies with international obligations under the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons and relevant United Nations Security Council resolutions .
The United States hereby reaffirms that policy. In accordance with NSPM–2, no officer or employee of the United States Government and no agent or other individual acting on behalf of the United States Government shall provide sanctions relief to, rescind or otherwise fail to enforce sanctions against the Government of Iran, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), or any representatives thereof (except in emergency or humanitarian situations) unless and until Iran ceases its support for international terrorism, halts its ballistic missile development, and verifiably dismantles its nuclear weapons program, and no funds authorized to be appropriated by this or any other Act may be obligated or made available for the conduct of any dialogue or engagement with Iranian officials or entities if the President knows and advises the Congress that such officials or entities directly participated in the planning or execution of a particular terrorist activity which resulted in the death or kidnapping of a United States person.
