Referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs, and in addition to the Committee on Intelligence (Permanent Select), for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
H.R. 6528, the Tracking and Restricting Adversarial Circumvention of Embargoes Act of 2025, requires the U.S. intelligence community to investigate and report on trade between China and Iran that may violate U.S. sanctions. Specifically, the Director of National Intelligence must submit a report within 180 days examining Chinese purchases of Iranian oil since 2020 and identify how China might be using shell companies and transshipment points to avoid sanctions, as well as assess Chinese financial support for Iran's ballistic missile program. The report goes to Congress and the Treasury Department, which then has an additional six months to determine whether China is engaging in sanctionable activities and report back to Congress. This legislation targets senior members of both parties concerned about potential sanctions circumvention and aims to close loopholes that could undermine U.S. efforts to restrict trade with Iran.
