SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) The illicit nuclear activities of the Government of 
        Iran and its support for international terrorism represent 
        threats to the security of the United States, its strong ally 
        Israel, and other allies of the United States around the world.
            (2) The United States and other responsible countries have 
        a vital interest in working together to prevent the Government 
        of Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapons capability.
            (3) The International Atomic Energy Agency has repeatedly 
        called attention to Iran's illicit nuclear activities and, as a 
        result, the United Nations Security Council has adopted a range 
        of sanctions designed to encourage the Government of Iran to 
        cease those activities and comply with its obligations under 
        the Treaty on Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, done at 
        Washington, London, and Moscow July 1, 1968, and entered into 
        force March 5, 1970 (commonly known as the ``Nuclear Non-
        Proliferation Treaty'').
            (4) The serious and urgent nature of the threat from Iran 
        demands that the United States work together with its allies to 
        prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapons capability.
            (5) The United States and its major European allies, 
        including the United Kingdom, France, and Germany, have 
        advocated that sanctions be strengthened should international 
        diplomatic efforts fail to achieve verifiable suspension of 
        Iran's uranium enrichment program and an end to its illicit 
        nuclear activities.
            (6) There is an increasing interest by States, local 
        governments, educational institutions, and private institutions 
        to seek to disassociate themselves from companies that conduct 
        business activities in the energy sector of Iran, since such 
        business activities may directly or indirectly support the 
        efforts of the Government of Iran to achieve a nuclear weapons 
        capability.
            (7) Black market proliferation networks continue to 
        flourish in the Middle East, allowing countries like Iran to 
        gain access to sensitive dual-use technologies.
            (8) The Government of Iran continues to engage in serious, 
        systematic, and ongoing violations of human rights and 
        religious freedom, including illegitimate prolonged detention, 
        torture, and executions. Such violations have increased in the 
        aftermath of the presidential election in Iran on June 12, 
        2009.

SEC. 3. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING ILLICIT NUCLEAR ACTIVITIES AND 
              VIOLATIONS OF HUMAN RIGHTS IN IRAN.

    It is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) international diplomatic efforts to address Iran's 
        illicit nuclear efforts and support for international terrorism 
        are more likely to be effective if the President is empowered 
        with the explicit authority to impose additional sanctions on 
        the Government of Iran;
            (2) additional measures should be adopted by the United 
        States to prevent the diversion and transshipment of sensitive 
        dual-use technologies to Iran;
            (3) the concerns of the United States regarding Iran are 
        strictly the result of the actions of the Government of Iran;
            (4) the people of the United States--
                    (A) have a long history of friendship and exchange 
                with the people of Iran;
                    (B) regret that developments in recent decades have 
                created impediments to that friendship;
                    (C) hold the people of Iran, their culture, and 
                their ancient and rich history in the highest esteem; 
                and
                    (D) remain deeply concerned about continuing human 
                rights abuses in Iran;
            (5) the President should--
                    (A) continue to press the Government of Iran to 
                respect the internationally recognized human rights and 
                religious freedoms of its citizens;
                    (B) identify the officials of the Government of 
                Iran that are responsible for continuing and severe 
                violations of human rights and religious freedom in 
                Iran; and
                    (C) take appropriate measures to respond to such 
                violations, including by--
                            (i) prohibiting officials the President 
                        identifies as being responsible for such 
                        violations from entry into the United States; 
                        and
                            (ii) freezing the assets of those 
                        officials; and
            (6) additional funding should be provided to the Secretary 
        of State to document, collect, and disseminate information 
        about human rights abuses in Iran, including serious abuses 
        that have taken place since the presidential election in Iran 
        conducted on June 12, 2009.

            (1) continue to target Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps 
        persistently with economic sanctions for its support for 
        terrorism, its role in proliferation, and its oppressive 
        activities against the people of Iran; and
            (2) impose sanctions, including travel restrictions, 
        sanctions authorized pursuant to this Act, and the full range

        Lebanon, and the national security interests of the United 
        States;
            (2) impose the full range of sanctions available to the 
        President under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act

            (1) in general, multilateral sanctions are more effective 
        than unilateral sanctions at achieving desired results from 
        countries such as Iran;
            (2) the President should continue to work with allies of 
        the United States to impose such sanctions as may be necessary 
        to prevent the Government of Iran from acquiring a nuclear 
        weapons capability; and
            (3) the United States should continue to consult with the 5 
        permanent members of the United Nations Security Council and 
        Germany (commonly referred to as the ``P5-plus-1'') and other 
        interested countries regarding imposing new sanctions with 
        respect to Iran in the event that diplomatic efforts to prevent
