Report on Iranian Oligarchs and State-Affiliated Entities: Preparing for Sanctions
This law requires the U.S. government to prepare a detailed report on the wealthiest and most influential individuals in Iran and large state-controlled companies. The goal is to identify their assets, corruption links, and connections to U.S. economic sectors to assess the possibility of imposing new sanctions. While the law does not directly impose sanctions, its purpose is to protect the American economy from undue foreign influence and strengthen U.S. foreign policy.
Key points
The U.S. government must identify Iranian oligarchs and their assets, including sources of income and business affiliations outside Iran.
The report will assess how large Iranian state-controlled companies (with revenues over $2 billion) affect Iran's economy and whether they have ties to U.S. financial sectors (banking, real estate).
The information gathered will be used to evaluate the potential effects of imposing new economic sanctions on these individuals and entities, both for Iran and the U.S. economy.
