Bill > SRes81

This resolution calls on the United Kingdom, France, and Germany (collectively known as the E3) to reinstate United Nations sanctions on Iran through a "snapback" mechanism outlined in UN Security Council Resolution 2231. The resolution provides context about the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), which was an international nuclear agreement with Iran, and highlights Iran's alleged repeated violations of that agreement, including increasing uranium enrichment, preventing effective international monitoring, and developing ballistic missiles. The Senate recognizes that Iran's potential acquisition of nuclear weapons would threaten global security, particularly for U.S. allies in Europe and the Middle East. The resolution condemns Iran's actions, criticizes Russia and China for supporting Iran, and reaffirms the U.S. government's right to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons. Importantly, the resolution urgently calls on the E3 to invoke the sanctions snapback mechanism before it expires on October 18, 2025, supporting the imposition of robust sanctions against Iran and entities involved in its nuclear and missile programs.
