    The National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013, also known as the Iran Freedom and Counter-Proliferation Act of 2012, requires the Secretary of State to report every 180 days about Iran's use of certain materials. This report, covering the period from July 1, 2020, to December 31, 2020, found that Iran is not using the specified materials for exchanges but is listing gold as part of its assets and that Iran's construction sector is influenced by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). Additionally, certain materials are connected with Iran's nuclear and military programs.

    Simple Explanation

    The report says that every six months, the U.S. checks if Iran is using certain materials, like metals and software, for trades or for its government money and if Iran's powerful group, the IRGC, controls parts of their economy. They found that Iran isn't trading these materials but is using gold as part of its money, and the IRGC is involved in construction. Some materials are linked to Iran's nuclear and military activities.
