SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Iran Nonproliferation Amendments Act 
of 2005''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress makes the following findings:
        (1) The Director of Central Intelligence's most recent 
    Unclassified Report to Congress on the Acquisition of Technology 
    Relating to Weapons of Mass Destruction and Advanced Conventional 
    Munitions, 1 July Through 31 December 2003, states ``Russian 
    entities during the reporting period continued to supply a variety 
    of ballistic missile-related goods and technical know-how to 
    countries such as Iran, India, and China. Iran's earlier success in 
    gaining technology and materials from Russian entities helped 
    accelerate Iranian development of the Shahab-3 MRBM, and continuing 
    Russian entity assistance has supported Iranian efforts to develop 
    new missiles and increase Tehran's self-sufficiency in missile 
    production.''
        (2) Vice Admiral Lowell E. Jacoby, the Director of the Defense 
    Intelligence Agency, stated in testimony before the Select 
    Committee on Intelligence of the Senate on February 16, 2005, that 
    ``Tehran probably will have the ability to produce nuclear weapons 
    early in the next decade''.
        (3) Iran has--
            (A) failed to act in accordance with the Agreement Between 
        Iran and the International Atomic Energy Agency for the 
        Application of Safeguards in Connection with the Treaty on the 
        Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, done at Vienna June 19, 
        1973 (commonly referred to as the ``Safeguards Agreement'');
            (B) acted in a manner inconsistent with the Protocol 
        Additional to the Agreement Between Iran and the International 
        Atomic Energy Agency for the Application of Safeguards, signed 
        at Vienna December 18, 2003 (commonly referred to as the 
        ``Additional Protocol'');
            (C) acted in a manner inconsistent with its obligations 
        under the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, 
        done at Washington, London, and Moscow July 1, 1968, and 
        entered into force March 5, 1970 (commonly referred to as the 
        ``Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty''); and
            (D) resumed uranium conversion activities, thus ending the 
        confidence building measures it adopted in its November 2003 
        agreement with the foreign ministers of the United Kingdom, 
        France, and Germany.
        (4) On September 24, 2005, the Board of Governors of the 
    International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) formally declared that 
    Iranian actions constituted noncompliance with its nuclear 
    safeguards obligations, and that Iran's history of concealment of 
    its nuclear activities has given rise to questions that are within 
    the purview of the United Nations Security Council.
        (5) The executive branch has on multiple occasions used the 
    authority provided under section 3 of the Iran Nonproliferation Act 
    of 2000 (Public Law 106-178; 50 U.S.C. 1701 note) to impose 
    sanctions on entities that have engaged in activities in violation 
    of restrictions in the Act relating to--
            (A) the export of equipment and technology controlled under 
        multilateral export control lists, including under the 
        Australia Group, Chemical Weapons Convention, Missile 
        Technology Control Regime, Nuclear Suppliers Group, and the 
        Wassenaar Arrangement or otherwise having the potential to make 
        a material contribution to the development of weapons of mass 
        destruction or cruise or ballistic missile systems to Iran; and
            (B) the export of other items to Iran with the potential of 
        making a material contribution to Iran's weapons of mass 
        destruction programs or on United States national control lists 
        for reasons related to the proliferation of weapons of mass 
        destruction or missiles.
        (6) The executive branch has never made a determination 
    pursuant to section 6(b) of the Iran Nonproliferation Act of 2000 
    that--
            (A) it is the policy of the Government of the Russian 
        Federation to oppose the proliferation to Iran of weapons of 
        mass destruction and missile systems capable of delivering such 
        weapons;
            (B) the Government of the Russian Federation (including the 
        law enforcement, export promotion, export control, and 
        intelligence agencies of such government) has demonstrated and 
        continues to demonstrate a sustained commitment to seek out and 
        prevent the transfer to Iran of goods, services, and technology 
        that could make a material contribution to the development of 
        nuclear, biological, or chemical weapons, or of ballistic or 
        cruise missile systems; and
            (C) no entity under the jurisdiction or control of the 
        Government of the Russian Federation, has, during the 1-year 
        period prior to the date of the determination pursuant to 
        section 6(b) of such Act, made transfers to Iran reportable 
        under section 2(a) of the Act.
        (7) On June 29, 2005, President George W. Bush issued Executive 
    Order 13382 blocking property of weapons of mass destruction 
    proliferators and their supporters, and used the authority of such 
    order against 4 Iranian entities, Aerospace Industries 
    Organization, Shahid Hemmat Industrial Group, Shahid Bakeri 
    Industrial Group, and the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran, that 
    have engaged, or attempted to engage, in activities or transactions 
    that have materially contributed to, or pose a risk of materially 
    contributing to, the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction 
    or their means of delivery (including missiles capable of 
    delivering such weapons), including efforts to manufacture, 
    acquire, possess, develop, transport, transfer, or use such items.

                            Vice President of the United States and    
                                               President of the Senate.
Iran Nonproliferation Amendments Act of 2005 - Amends the Iran Nonproliferation Act of 2000 to state that the definition of "extraordinary payments in connection with the International Space Station" does not mean payments in cash or in kind made or to be made by the U.S. government prior to January 1, 2012, for work to be performed or services to be rendered prior to that date necessary to meet U.S. obligations under the Agreement Concerning Cooperation on the Civil International Space Station, with annex, signed at Washington January 29, 1998, and entered into force March 27, 2001, or any protocol, agreement, memorandum of understanding, or contract related thereto. (Under such Act the United States is prohibited from making such payments to the Russian Aviation and Space Agency unless specified determinations are made with respect to Russian cooperation in preventing proliferation to Iran, or to a foreign person identified as contributing to proliferation to Iran.)

Prohibits any U.S. agency from making extraordinary payments and any other payments (currently, such prohibition is limited to extraordinary payments) in connection with the International Space Station to a foreign person subject to specified measures under such Act or Executive Order No. 12938.

 Directs the President to submit to the Committee on Foreign Relations of the Senate and the Committee on International Relations of the House of Representatives a report that identifies each Russian entity or person to whom the United States has, since the date of enactment of this Act, made a cash or in-kind payment under the Agreement.

Requires such report to include: (1) the purpose of each payment; and (2) with respect to each such payment, an assessment that the payment was not prejudicial to preventing the proliferation of ballistic or cruise missile systems in Iran and other countries that have supported acts of international terrorism.

 Applies the provisions of such Act to: (1) Syria with respect to transfers on or after January 1, 2005; and (2) transfers to or from such countries (currently, limited to transfers to Iran).

Redefines "foreign person" or "person" to include any foreign government or government entity (currently, any governmental entity operating as a business enterprise).

Retitles the Iran Nonproliferation Act of 2002 as the Iran and Syria Nonproliferation Act.
