DISRUPT Act of 2023

S 451, the DISRUPT Act of 2023, requires the President to impose sanctions within 120 days on Iranian financial institutions and individuals providing military support to Russia’s forces in Ukraine. It targets those supplying defense articles (like drones, missiles, armored vehicles) or services to Russian military entities, including the Wagner Group or Russian persons on sanctions lists. The bill also prevents removing Iranian entities from the sanctions list without proof they haven’t supported Russia’s military for a year and blocks revoking Iran’s "money laundering concern" status without certification that Iran has stopped aiding Russia’s military. This directly affects Iranian financial institutions and entities supplying Russia with military equipment.
