Bill > HRes398

This resolution condemns Iran's failure to comply with its international nuclear obligations by supporting the International Atomic Energy Agency's (IAEA) verification efforts and highlighting several key concerns. The resolution emphasizes Iran's persistent lack of transparency and cooperation with the IAEA, noting that the agency has identified undeclared nuclear material at multiple sites and cannot confirm the peaceful nature of Iran's nuclear program. It points out that Iran has increased its uranium enrichment to levels that could potentially produce multiple nuclear weapons, which undermines regional stability and increases proliferation risks. The resolution calls on Iran to fulfill its Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) obligations, reinstate nuclear inspectors, and provide full access to nuclear sites. Furthermore, it urges the U.S. government to work with international allies to impose diplomatic and economic measures to hold Iran accountable. Critically, the resolution asserts that if international efforts fail and Iran either withdraws from the NPT or is determined to have crossed the nuclear threshold, Congress should be prepared to authorize the use of military force against Iran, consistent with the U.S. commitment to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons.
