Both the United States and Iran threatened a rapid escalation in both economic and kinetic war options.\nOn January 10, 2020, the President, as promised in the immediate aftermath of the U.S. drone strike, announced new sanctions to curtail international trade, transactions, and financing in Iran\u2019s construction, mining, manufacturing, and textile sectors. The Secretary of the Treasury, in addition, announced that eight \u201csenior Iranian regime officials who have advanced the regime\u2019s destabilizing objectives\u201d were made subject to sanctions, and 17 Iranian metals producers, mining companies, and three partners in China and the Seychelles that facilitated trade in Iran\u2019s metal products were also now designated for economic restrictions.\nPrior to this juncture, the United States had led the international community in imposing economic sanctions on Iran in an effort to change the government of that country\u2019s support of acts of international terrorism, poor human rights record, weapons and missile development and acquisition, role in regional instability, and development of a nuclear program. The United States\u2019 abrogation of its participation in the JCPOA sets the United States apart from its allies and partners in what had been for more than a decade a unified, multilateral approach to Iran\u2019s malign activities.\nThis report identifies the basis in U.S. law for sanctions imposed on Iran, and the nature of the authority to waive or lift those restrictions.
