Summary
Congress has mandated that the executive branch provide it with significant amounts of information related to Iran via singular and recurring reporting requirements. Iran-related issues about which Congress has mandated executive branch reporting include
- Iran's missile and drone activities and the capability of U.S. forces and U.S. partners to counter those threats;
- Iran's support for terrorist and other armed groups across the Middle East, including the resources Iran dedicates to supporting those groups;
- Iran's nuclear program, including uranium enrichment and possible nuclear weapons development;
- U.S. sanctions on Iran;
- Human rights in Iran and the Iranian government's efforts to target dissidents at home and abroad;
- Iran's relations with North Korea, the People's Republic of China (China or PRC), and other countries; and
- Iranian leaders' assets.
Reflecting the broad array of Iran-related topics of interest to Congress, nearly half of all congressional committees have received a report related to Iran in the past decade. Some reports are available to the general public, though most, while unclassified, are only accessible to the committees to which the executive branch is required to submit them.
In reviewing the reports to which Congress formerly had, and presently has, access, Members of Congress could consider how those reports have or have not impacted U.S. policymaking, and whether or not to expand, restrict, or otherwise amend the Iran-related information they require from the executive branch.
Scope and Introduction
This report provides a list of Iran-related reports, strategies, and other informational products that Congress has required from the executive branch since the 111th Congress (2009-2010). Reporting requirements may vary widely in terms of deadlines, requested content, and congressional entities to which the reports are to be submitted. The forms in which reports are delivered, including the submission of written materials or in-person delivery through briefings, also vary. This report includes only those written reports required by enacted legislation (e.g., not reports required by explanatory statements or committee reports accompanying legislation enacted by Congress or passed by a committee).1 The reports listed in this product are those related primarily to Iran, though Iran often appears in other reports, such as those related to U.S. adversaries in general. This product does not include situational Iran-related reports that Congress requires the executive branch to submit in specific instances, such as when applying, or waiving the application of, certain sanctions. The tables of reports in this product should not be considered comprehensive of all reporting requirements related to Iran.
Some of the reports below are required to be submitted to the entire Congress, or to senior leaders in each chamber, but most are to be submitted to specific committees. Reflecting the broad array of Iran-related issues of interest to Members of Congress, recipients of at least one of the reports below include 8 of 20 standing committees in the House and 7 of 16 standing committees in the Senate, as well as both chambers' intelligence committees. Report recipients generally reflect the committees with jurisdiction over the legislation in which the reporting requirement is included (e.g., the appropriations committees receive reports required in appropriations bills; the armed services committees receive reports required in a National Defense Authorization Act, or NDAA). Most of the reports below are not publicly available and CRS cannot confirm whether or not reports (which the executive branch often has the option to submit alongside a classified annex) have been submitted as directed.
Major Themes and Issues for Congress
The topics about which Congress has directed the Administration provide it information since the 111th Congress have generally aligned with broader trends in U.S. Iran policy. Congressional reporting requirements reflect congressional interests in overseeing executive branch policymaking toward Iran, including using reports to prompt or compel the executive branch to initiate policy changes.
In the 111th and 112th Congresses (2009-2010 and 2011-2012), as growing concern about Iran's nuclear program prompted UN restrictions on Iran, Congress passed landmark legislation related to Iran sanctions, including the Comprehensive Iran Sanctions, Accountability, and Divestment Act of 2010 (CISADA, P.L. 111-195) and the Iran Threat Reduction and Syria Human Rights Act of 2012 (ITRSHRA, P.L. 112-158). Those laws, building on previous efforts to limit the Iranian government's access to revenue by sanctioning aspects of the country's energy sector, introduced a number of regular reporting requirements that are still operative, including biannual reports on investments in Iran's energy sector (Section 110 of CISADA) and executive branch efforts to expand multilateral sanctions on Iran (Section 102(b) of ITRSHRA). In the FY2010 NDAA (P.L. 111-84), Congress also initiated the annual report on Iran's military power, which currently is required through December 2025; that reporting requirement, the text and legislative history of which is available in Appendix A A, has seen numerous changes over the years related to the growing scope of congressional interest regarding threatening Iranian behaviors. The violent crackdown against popular protests after the disputed 2009 presidential election in Iran also prompted congressional reporting requirements, including still-operative requirements for reports on Iranian officials determined to be responsible for human rights abuses (Section 105 of CISADA) and on senior Iranian officials determined to be involved in proliferation activities, support for terrorism, or human rights abuses, as well as family members of such officials (Section 221 of ITRSHRA).2
Starting in the 113th Congress (2013-2015), Members also sought greater transparency regarding multilateral negotiations related to Iran's nuclear program, requiring reports from the Administration on the status of those negotiations and Iran's adherence to various agreements (culminating in the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, JCPOA). In response to the JCPOA, the 114th Congress passed the Iran Nuclear Agreement Review Act (INARA, P.L. 114-17), which includes several reporting requirements. In subsequent legislation, Congress required a biannual report on the monetary value of JCPOA-related sanctions relief and Iran's use of those funds (Section 514 of P.L. 114-113).
Reporting requirements in the 115th Congress (2017-2019), a period when the Trump Administration ceased U.S. participation in the JCPOA and initiated a campaign of "maximum pressure" to try to compel Iran to seek a new agreement, included a number of reports related to U.S. diplomatic efforts. Many of those requirements were in the Countering America's Adversaries Through Sanctions Act (CAATSA, P.L. 115-44), which authorized additional sanctions on Iran and required still-operative reports from the executive branch on a strategy to deter Iranian threats (Section 102); on discrepancies between U.S. and European Union sanctions on Iran (Section 109); and on U.S. citizens detained by Iran or Iran-backed groups (Section 110).
Though Iran's support for terrorist and other armed groups in the Middle East had long been a major concern for U.S. policymakers (an issue included in regular reporting requirements), the prominence of Iran's regional activities appears to have risen in reporting requirements beginning with the 116th Congress (2019-2021). In that term, as U.S.-Iran tensions escalated into periodic direct military confrontation across the region, Congress enacted reporting requirements related to deconfliction (Section 1227 of the FY2020 NDAA, P.L. 116-92), Iran's activities in Syria and Lebanon (Section 5521 of Division E, P.L. 116-92), and UN arms restrictions (Section 609 of Division W, P.L. 116-260). Iran-related reporting requirements added in the 117th Congress include annual reports on the Iranian government's efforts to target dissidents at home and abroad (Section 204 of Title II, P.L. 117-328) and on Iranian uranium enrichment and related activities (Section 5593(e)(1) of P.L. 117-263).
A week after Iran's unprecedented direct missile and drone attack on Israel in April 2024, Congress began consideration of, and later passed, an emergency supplemental appropriations bill (P.L. 118-50) that included numerous Iran-related measures. Reporting requirements in that law include a number of recurring reports, including reports on Iranian petroleum exports (annually, Section 4 of Division J), on Iran's use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) against U.S. persons (every 180 days, Section 6 of Division K), and on Iranian officials' assets (every two years, Section 3 of Division R).
Possible Issues for Congress
Considerations for requiring a report. Congress may consider requiring an executive branch report for various reasons, including gathering information related to Iran or U.S. policy toward it; seeking policy options; attempting to get the executive branch to take a specific policy position; or verifying implementation of previous positions or requirements. Members of Congress may examine how, if at all, reports have shaped congressional and/or executive branch actions toward Iran.
Cost/value of reports. Some reports, including some U.S. Department of Defense reports, include information on the estimated costs of preparing the report.3 Congress may consider whether or not to make such cost estimates more universal and, more broadly, may consider whether or not the resources expended by the executive branch in preparing Iran-related reports are commensurate with the value that Congress derives from those reports.
Accessibility of reports. Congress may consider whether to broaden, restrict, or otherwise change the categories of individuals who receive or otherwise have access to ran-related reports. Many Iran-related reports that are 'public' are not classified, but are not necessarily available to the public on a website or otherwise. There is currently no single repository or database for digitized or physical reports submitted to Congress.4
The following tables list enacted legislation regarding congressionally mandated reporting requirements related to Iran. The tables cover the 111th Congress (2009-2010) through the 118th Congress (2023-2024) in reverse chronological order. The tables are followed by a key to congressional committee abbreviations.

"When found in statutes, reporting requirements are legally binding directives by Congress to federal entities. By contrast, when found in committee reports, reporting requirements do not carry the force of law. Nonetheless, because committee reports are authoritative records and serve to establish congressional intent and need, federal entities may still choose to satisfy the reporting requirements due to the significance Congress has imparted upon them and to preserve their relationships with committees of jurisdiction."
