The Iran Sanctions Act (ISA)

Abstract

No firms have been sanctioned under the Iran Sanctions Act (ISA). Set to expire in August 2006, legislation in the 109th Congress (the Iran Freedom Support Act, P.L. 109-293) extended it until December 31, 2011, terminated application to Libya, and added provisions, although with substantial Administration flexibility in implementation. Proposed ISA-related legislation in the 110th Congress, such as H.R. 1400, would remove some of that flexibility. See also CRS Report RL32048, "Iran: U.S. Concerns and Policy Responses," by Kenneth Katzman.
