Summary
A bill to continue in effect certain Executive orders imposing sanctions with respect to Iran, to prevent the waiver of certain sanctions imposed by the United States with respect to Iran until the Government of Iran ceases to attempt to assassinate United States officials, other United States citizens, and Iranian nationals residing in the United States, and for other purposes.

The sanctions are currently authorized by executive orders (presidential directives). The bill was introduced in Congress and is in the early legislative stage.
