The Iran Sanctions Act (ISA)

Abstract

No firms have been sanctioned under the Iran Sanctions Act (ISA), and a GAO study in December 2007 said that the effects of ISA and other U.S. sanctions on Iran's economy are difficult to determine. Some foreign firms, particularly in Asia, continue to finalize investment deals with Iran, while European firms seem hesitant. In the 110th Congress, H.R. 1400 (passed by the House on September 25, 2007), and S. 970, would add ISA provisions beyond those added in the 109th Congress. See CRS Report RL32048, Iran: U.S. Concerns and Policy Responses, by Kenneth Katzman.
