The House of Representatives is set to vote tomorrow on the Iran Refined Petroleum Sanctions Act (H.R. 2194). This important action comes as Iran refuses to seriously engage with the United States and to suspend its uranium enrichment program. Instead of ending its enrichment of uranium as required by repeated U.N. Security Council resolutions, Iran is threatening to build 10 new enrichment facilities, which would represent a radical expansion of its nuclear program.

The legislation contains sanctions curtailing Iran’s ability to import and produce refined petroleum, measures which could be implemented if Iran continues to reject U.S. overtures and defy five U.N. Security Council resolutions. The legislation was introduced by House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Howard Berman (D-CA) and Ranking Member Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-FL). Since Iran must import up to 40 percent of its refined petroleum, curtailing its ability to purchase gasoline and diesel fuel could have a severe impact on the Iranian economy, forcing the regime to confront a real choice: continue its illicit nuclear program and risk economic ruin OR suspend the program and open the door to relief from sanctions. As President Obama said, “If Iran does not take steps in the near future to live up to its obligations, then the United States will not continue to negotiate indefinitely, and we are prepared to move towards increased pressure. -AIPAC
