Enhanced Iran Sanctions Act of 2025
Foreign companies, corporate executives, and their benefiting family members will face frozen U.S. assets and U.S. travel bans if they refine, transport, or sell Iranian oil and petrochemical products. The bill also authorizes cash bounties for whistleblowers and informants who help identify people sneaking around Iranian oil sanctions. Humanitarian trade—including shipments of food, medicine, and medical devices—as well as essential supplies to keep ship crews safe are protected from these restrictions.
