Bill > SRes101

This resolution affirms the serious national security concerns surrounding Iran's nuclear program, highlighting a comprehensive series of provocative actions and statements by Iranian leadership that threaten global stability. The resolution documents Iran's progressive uranium enrichment efforts, which have reached up to 83.7% purity (close to the 90% weapons-grade threshold), and notes multiple international assessments indicating Iran has accumulated enough fissile material to potentially produce several nuclear weapons. The Senate specifically declares Iran's nuclear pursuits as a credible threat to the United States and an existential threat to Israel and Middle Eastern allies, asserting that all options should be considered to address this nuclear threat. The resolution demands that Iran immediately cease uranium enrichment, stop developing nuclear weapon delivery systems, and halt nuclear warhead development. Importantly, the resolution includes a crucial clause explicitly stating that it does not authorize military force, emphasizing a diplomatic approach to addressing the potential nuclear threat. The document is grounded in numerous statements from Iranian leadership, international monitoring agencies like the IAEA, and intelligence assessments that collectively paint a picture of increasing nuclear capabilities and provocative geopolitical posturing by Iran.
