# §9422. Statement of policy


It is the policy of the [United States](/usc/22/1395.md?p=a-1)—

- (1) to urgently seek the extension of missile-related restrictions set forth in Annex B to United Nations Security Council Resolution 2231 (2015);
- (2) to use all available authorities to constrain Iran’s domestic ballistic missile production capabilities;
- (3) to combat and deter the transfer of conventional and non-conventional arms, equipment, material, and technology to, or from Iran, or involving the [Government of Iran](/usc/22/9424.md?p=3); and
- (4) to ensure countries, individuals, and entities engaged in, or attempting to engage in, the acquisition, facilitation, or development of arms and related components and technology subject to restrictions under Annex B to United Nations Security Council Resolution 2231 are held to account under [United States](/usc/22/1395.md?p=a-1) and international law, including through the application and enforcement of sanctions and use of export controls, regardless of whether the restrictions under Annex B to United Nations Security Council Resolution 2231 remain in effect following their anticipated expiration in October 2023.
