The bill would stop the Iran Sanctions Act of 1996 from expiring on its own. It does not add new sanctions. It keeps the current law in place and says the U.S. should fully carry it out.
Modern Action explains legislation in plain English, helps you choose whether to support, oppose, or ask for changes, and drafts a message tied to the bill, your stance, and the elected officials who can act on it.
Solidify Iran Sanctions Act of 2025 is a Senate bill in committee. The latest recorded action: Received in the Senate and Read twice and referred to the Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs.
Latest action on H.R. 1800: Received in the Senate and Read twice and referred to the Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs.
Who this affects: This bill mainly affects people and companies that do business with Iran in areas already covered by U.S. sanctions, along with U.S. officials who enforce those rules. It also matters to U.S. allies and foreign firms that watch U.S. sanctions policy closely, because this law would no longer expire on its own.
Why this matters: This matters because it would keep a major Iran sanctions law in force without Congress having to renew it. That could preserve U.S. pressure on Iran over weapons activity and support for terrorism, but the real-world effect still depends on how future presidents enforce the law. It also matters because ending or easing this sanctions authority later would take a new act of Congress, not just waiting for the law to expire.
You do not have to start with a blank letter. Modern Action turns the bill, your position, and the relevant congressional context into a message you can edit and send. The goal is to make contacting Congress clear, specific, and useful without forcing you to parse bill text or figure out the right office on your own.
