The main purpose of this legislation is to impose sanctions on the importation of natural gas from Iran by the Government of Iraq. The goal is to target and restrict Iran's gas industry, which is seen as a way to limit Iran's economic capabilities and influence in the region. Key provisions of the legislation include amendments to existing laws that specifically apply sanctions to the sale, supply, or transfer of natural gas to or from Iran. This means that any transactions involving Iranian natural gas would be subject to penalties unless certain exceptions are made.
