  • Executive Order 13382 [and Executive Order 12938, as amended]
    • Executive Order 13382, signed by the President on June 29, 2005, is an authority aimed at freezing the assets of proliferators of weapons of mass destruction and their supporters, and isolating them financially. Designations under E.O. 13382 prohibit all transactions between the designees and any U.S. person, and freeze any assets the designees may have under U.S. jurisdiction.
  • Iran and Syria Nonproliferation Act
    • On November 22, 2005, the President signed into law the Iran Nonproliferation Amendments Act of 2005 (Public Law 109-112), which in part, expanded the scope of the Iran Nonproliferation Act of 2000. Accordingly, the Nonproliferation Act of 2000 was renamed the Iran and Syria Nonproliferation Act.

Executive Order 12938 has been amended twice — once in 1998 (E.O. 13094) and again in 2005 (E.O. 13382) — with the goal of making it more effective in combating the spread of unconventional weapons.
