The Director of National Intelligence must report yearly on countries that let banned goods reach Iran through their territory. The report covers goods that could help Iran build weapons or support terrorism. The report can be classified.

(a) In general. Within 180 days of July 1, 2010, the Director of National Intelligence had to send a report to the President, the Secretaries of Defense, Commerce, State, and the Treasury, and the appropriate congressional committees. The report names each country whose government the Director believes is letting the goods, services, or technologies described in subsection (b) pass through its territory to Iranian end-users or Iranian go-betweens. (b) Goods, services, and technologies described. This covers two kinds of items. The first kind must meet three tests together: it originated in the United States; it would meaningfully help Iran develop nuclear, chemical, or biological weapons, ballistic missiles, or advanced conventional weapons, or would help Iran support international terrorism; and it appears on the Commerce Control List (or is a related service) or on the United States Munitions List as a defense article or service. The second kind is anything banned from export to Iran under a United Nations Security Council resolution. (c) Updates. The Director must update this report whenever important new information comes in, and at least once a year regardless. (d) Form. The Director may submit the report and its updates in classified form.
