Countering Iran and DPRK’s WMD, Nuclear, Ballistic Missile, and Drone Proliferation

The Counterproliferation and Sanctions Enforcement program, managed by the Department of State's Arms Control and Nonproliferation office, is designed to implement Maximum Pressure on Iran and enhance global capacity to enforce sanctions against Iran and the DPRK. The program focuses on equipping governments and private sector leaders with the tools necessary to detect and disrupt sanctions evasion activities. By targeting the acquisition of proliferation sensitive technologies and materials, the initiative aims to thwart the development of nuclear capabilities, ballistic missiles, and unmanned aerial systems that threaten United States national security. Operational activities under this forecast include strengthening cybersecurity, maritime security, and global sanctions regimes to disrupt revenue generation for these nations. Additionally, the program works to protect United States supply chains, international market access, and global investments for American companies. This effort is categorized under NAICS code 541690 and involves performance across multiple international locations to ensure a comprehensive approach to countering weapons of mass destruction and drone proliferation.
