Bill Summary

Calling on the United Kingdom, France, and Germany (E3) to initiate the snapback of sanctions on Iran under United Nations Security Council Resolution 2231 (2015).

AI Summary

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 before it expires in October 2025. The resolution provides context about the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), a nuclear agreement between Iran and world powers, which initially provided sanctions relief in exchange for restrictions on Iran's nuclear program. However, the resolution highlights that Iran has repeatedly violated the agreement by increasing uranium enrichment, preventing international monitoring, and expanding its nuclear capabilities. The resolution condemns Iran's actions, criticizes Russia and China for supporting Iran, and reaffirms the United States' right to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. It specifically urges the E3 to use the UNSCR 2231 snapback mechanism to reimpose UN sanctions, citing concerns that Iran's nuclear program poses a significant threat to regional and global security. The resolution also supports imposing robust sanctions on Iran and entities involved in its nuclear and missile programs.
