Iran Sanctions Enabling Act of 2007 - Directs the Secretary of the Treasury to:
(1) publish biannually in the Federal Register a list of each person, whether within or outside of the United States, that has an investment of more than $20 million in the energy sector in Iran; and
(2) maintain on the website of the Department of the Treasury the names of the persons on such list.

Authorizes a state or local government to adopt and enforce measures to divest its assets from, or prohibit investment of assets in, persons included on the most recent list.
