1. Repeal of sunset of Iran Sanctions Act of 1996 Congress makes the following findings: The Iran Sanctions Act of 1996 (Public Law 104–172; 50 U.S.C. 1701 note) requires the imposition of sanctions with respect to Iran’s illicit weapons programs, conventional weapons and ballistic missile development, and support for terrorism, including Iran’s Revolutionary Guards Corps.
