Due to Iran’s efforts to overthrow foreign governments, finance terror, illegally test-fire intercontinental ballistic missiles, and many other malign activities, it is known as the world’s largest state sponsor of terror.

As a consequence of Iran’s nefarious pursuits, in 2007, the United Nations Security Council unanimously adopted a resolution preventing the import or export of arms in Iran. In 2010, the U.N. Security Council placed further restrictions on Iran. But then came the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, otherwise known as the Obama administration’s Iran Nuclear Deal. It arranged for these two resolutions to expire five years after its enactment. This was just one of the sunset provisions poorly negotiated as part of that agreement.
