Plain-English Summary

The law that imposed economic sanctions on Iran is currently set to expire, but this bill would make those sanctions permanent instead of letting them end. The sanctions restrict trade and financial dealings with Iran, affecting American companies, banks, and international businesses that do business with the United States. By removing the expiration date, Congress would ensure these restrictions remain in place indefinitely unless a future law changes them.
