Restoring Iran Oil and Financial Sanctions to Counter Terrorism Funding.

This legislation mandates the re-imposition of strict sanctions targeting Iran's oil exports and financial sector. The goal is to cut off funding sources for terrorist organizations, including Hamas, which the US government views as a threat to national security. While not directly impacting US citizens' daily lives, the Act strengthens US foreign policy aimed at international stability.
Key points
Mandatory sanctions are imposed on foreign entities involved in significant transactions of Iranian oil and petrochemical products.
Foreign financial institutions dealing with the Central Bank of Iran face restrictions or prohibitions on maintaining US correspondent accounts.
The sanctions include exceptions for humanitarian transactions, such as the sale of food, medicine, and medical devices to Iran.
