This section states four goals of U.S. policy toward Iran: cutting off money Iran uses for terrorism and weapons by limiting its oil exports, cutting off funds Iran uses to oppress protesters, fully enforcing sanctions on Iran's energy sector, and countering Iran's support for terrorist groups.

It is U.S. policy: (1) to deny Iran the ability to destabilize the region, support international terrorism, and fund weapons of mass destruction, by limiting how much petroleum and petroleum products Iran can export; (2) to deny Iran the money it uses to oppress and violate the human rights of Iranians who peacefully protest against the government; (3) to fully enforce sanctions against businesses and groups that support Iran's energy sector; and (4) to counter Iran's efforts to fund and help foreign terrorist organizations take part in ongoing conflicts and illegal activities, because of the threat this poses to vital U.S. national interests.
