What are US sanctions on Iran? How can Washington impose more?

WASHINGTON - The United States has warned it will impose new sanctions on Iran following its unprecedented attack on Israel.

Thousands of people and companies, both Iranian and foreign, have been targeted under the sanctions program as Washington has sought to constrain Iran's government and change its behavior, the CRS said in a report last year. One of the most significant moves would be for Washington to get the European Union and other western allies to impose multilateral sanctions on Tehran, he said, as most of the sanctions in place against Iran currently are US measures.

Among them is legislation that would increase congressional oversight of sanctions waivers, tighten restrictions on the export of U.S. goods and technology to Iran and require the administration to ensure humanitarian exemptions to the sanctions do not facilitate acts of terrorism or the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction.

The bill faces an uncertain future in the Senate. The Democratic-led Senate may consider its own legislation.
