_______________________________________________________________________

                                 AN ACT


 
To expand sanctions against Iran with respect to the ballistic missile 
                program of Iran, and for other purposes.

    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Iran Ballistic Missiles and 
International Sanctions Enforcement Act''.

SEC. 2. SANCTIONS RELATING TO EFFORTS BY THE GOVERNMENT OF IRAN WITH 
              RESPECT TO BALLISTIC MISSILE-RELATED GOODS, SERVICES, AND 
              TECHNOLOGIES.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
            (1) United Nations Security Council Resolution 2231 
        (2015)--
                    (A) calls upon Iran ``not to undertake any activity 
                related to ballistic missiles designed to be capable of 
                delivering nuclear weapons, including launches using 
                such ballistic missile technology''; and
                    (B) requires member states to ``take the necessary 
                measures to prevent, except as decided otherwise by the 
                UN Security Council in advance on a case-by-case basis, 
                the supply, sale, or transfer of arms or related 
                materiel from Iran''.
            (2) The United States maintains bilateral sanctions against 
        Iran for its efforts to manufacture, acquire, possess, develop, 
        transport, transfer or use ballistic missiles or ballistic 
        missile launch technology, and its acquisition of destabilizing 
        types and amounts of conventional weapons.
            (3) According to the 2016 Worldwide Threat Assessment, the 
        United States intelligence community judges ``that Tehran would 
        choose ballistic missiles as its preferred method of delivering 
        nuclear weapons, if it builds them. Iran's ballistic missiles 
        are inherently capable of delivering [weapons of mass 
        destruction], and Tehran already has the largest inventory of 
        ballistic missiles in the Middle East. Iran's progress on space 
        launch vehicles--along with its desire to deter the United 
        States and its allies--provides Tehran with the means and 
        motivation to develop longer-range missiles, including 
        ICBMs.''.
            (4) Since the passage of United Nations Security Council 
        2231, Iran has conducted numerous tests of ballistic missiles 
        designed to be capable of delivering nuclear weapons, and has 
        acquired destabilizing types of conventional weapons.
            (5) Iran has pursued the ability to indigenously produce 
        ballistic missile and cruise missile goods, services, and 
        technologies.
    (b) Statement of Policy.--It is the policy of the United States to 
prevent Iran from undertaking any activity related to ballistic 
missiles designed to be capable of delivering nuclear weapons, 
including launches using such ballistic missile technology.
    (c) Report on Supply Chain of Iran's Ballistic Missile Program.--
            (1) In general.--Not later than 180 days after the date of 
        the enactment of this Act, the President shall submit to the 
        appropriate congressional committees a report that contains the 
        following:
                    (A) An analysis of the foreign supply chain and 
                domestic supply chain in Iran that directly or 
                indirectly significantly facilitates, supports, or 
                otherwise aids the Government of Iran's ballistic 
                missile program.
                    (B) A description of the geographic distribution of 
                the foreign and domestic supply chain described in 
                subparagraph (A).
                    (C) An assessment of the Government of Iran's 
                ability to indigenously manufacture or otherwise 
                produce the goods, services, or technology necessary to 
                support its ballistic missile program.
                    (D) An identification of foreign persons that have, 
                based on credible information, directly or indirectly 
                facilitated or supported the development of the 
                Government of Iran's ballistic missile program, 
                including the foreign and domestic supply chain 
                described in subparagraph (A).
                    (E) A determination with respect to each foreign 
                person identified under subparagraph (D) as to whether
