date of the enactment of this Act, the President may not, in
connection with the ongoing nuclear negotiations with Iran,
exercise a waiver of, suspend, or otherwise reduce any
sanctions imposed in relation to Iran, whether imposed directly
by statute or through an Executive order, unless, not later
than 15 days before the waiver, suspension, or other reduction
takes effect, the President submits to the appropriate
congressional committees the certification described in
paragraph (2).
(2) Certification described.--The certification described
in this paragraph is a certification with respect to the
waiver, suspension, or other reduction of sanctions under
paragraph (1) that--
(A) it is in the vital national security interests
of the United States to waive, suspend, or otherwise
reduce those sanctions; and
(B) Iran is in full compliance with the terms of
any interim agreement between the United States, the
United Kingdom, France, Russia, China, Germany, and
Iran relating to Iran's nuclear program.
(3) Expiration of interim relief and reinstatement of
sanctions.--Any sanctions imposed in relation to Iran that have
been waived, suspended, or otherwise reduced in connection with
the ongoing nuclear negotiations with Iran, regardless whether
the waiver, suspension, or other reduction of those sanctions
took effect before or after the date of the enactment of this
Act, shall be immediately reinstated on the date that is 240
days after such date of enactment.
(b) Effective Enforcement of Final Agreement and Limitations.--
(1) In general.--On and after the date that is 240 days
after the date of the enactment of this Act, the President may
not, in connection with the ongoing nuclear negotiations with
Iran, exercise a waiver of, suspend, or otherwise reduce any

takes effect, the President submits to the appropriate
congressional committees the certification described in

determination; and

credible and accurate, not later than 5 days after making that
determination, reinstate all sanctions imposed in relation to
Iran that have been waived, suspended, or otherwise reduced in
connection with the ongoing nuclear negotiations with Iran,
without regard to whether the waiver, suspension, or other
reduction of those sanctions took effect before or after the
date of the enactment of this Act.
