Summary

AI-generated summary, report an error

This bill would cancel a Treasury Department license, called General License U, that allows the delivery and sale of Iranian crude oil and petroleum products loaded on ships as of March 20, 2026. It would also bar the Treasury Secretary from authorizing future transactions needed to sell, deliver, or offload Iranian oil. Within 30 days, the President would have to impose sanctions, including asset freezes and visa bans, on Iranian persons involved in extracting, refining, or shipping oil and gas, with exceptions for humanitarian aid, food, medicine, and certain U.S. government activities. The Secretary of State would report to Congress every 60 days for three years on Iranian oil exports, revenue, and production and the effects of the license.
