H.R. 6528: Tracking and Restricting Adversarial Circumvention of Embargoes Act of 2025

This bill, titled the "Tracking and Restricting Adversarial Circumvention of Embargoes Act of 2025," aims to enhance monitoring of certain activities between the People's Republic of China (PRC) and the Islamic Republic of Iran, particularly regarding oil purchases and ballistic missile-related transactions.

Key Provisions

  • Reporting Requirement: The Director of National Intelligence is required to submit a report within 180 days after the bill is enacted. This report will analyze:
    • The purchases of Iranian oil by China since 2020, focusing on methods used to circumvent sanctions, such as transshipment points and shell companies.
    • Significant financial transactions by Chinese entities that may support Iran's ballistic missile program, including sales of chemical precursors and other materials.
  • Assessment of Sanctionable Activities: The Secretary of the Treasury must determine, within six months of receiving the report, whether China is involved in activities that violate sanctions and report this determination to Congress.
  • Definition of Congressional Committees: The bill specifies which congressional committees will be involved in reviewing the report, which includes various committees in both the Senate and the House that focus on banking, commerce, foreign relations, and intelligence.

The bill seeks to provide greater oversight over the dealings between China and Iran, specifically aimed at understanding and potentially addressing any violations of U.S. sanctions against Iran, particularly related to oil and weapons development.
