Strengthening Oil Sanctions Against Iran and Blocking Funds

This act aims for full enforcement of oil sanctions against Iran to curb its funding of terrorism, pursuit of nuclear weapons, and support for Russia's war against Ukraine. Citizens may experience indirect effects on international stability and foreign policy, but direct consequences for their daily lives are minimal.
Key points
The U.S. President must fully utilize existing oil sanctions against Iran and regularly report to Congress on their implementation.
The President's authority to waive funds from Iranian escrow accounts is suspended, and sanctions on funds in South Korea and Iraq are reinstated.
Iran's access to International Monetary Fund Special Drawing Rights (SDRs) will be blocked to limit its financial capabilities.
