Summary
The bill bars the export of crude oil, gasoline and diesel from the United States during the period of U.S. military action against Iran, unless the President grants a limited waiver for crude that cannot be refined domestically. It is intended to keep more fuel at home to help lower gas prices. Any waived crude must be refined abroad and then re‑imported into the United States.
