Affirming the threats to world stability from a nuclear weapons-capable Islamic Republic of Iran.

This resolution, H. RES. 105, affirms that the Islamic Republic of Iran's continued pursuit of a nuclear weapons capability constitutes a credible threat to the United States and an existential threat to Israel and other allies in the Middle East. It highlights numerous statements by Iranian officials threatening the U.S. and Israel, alongside Iran's direct responsibility for the death and injury of U.S. servicemembers through proxy groups. The resolution also details Iran's significant financial backing of designated terrorist organizations like Hezbollah and Hamas. The resolution outlines a historical progression of Iran's nuclear program, noting its enrichment activities, non-cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), and development of ballistic missile capabilities. It cites instances where Iran enriched uranium to high purities, including 83.7 percent, and accumulated significant stockpiles of enriched uranium, raising international concerns about its potential to produce multiple nuclear weapons. The resolution further points to the lapse of United Nations Security Council Resolution 2231, which lifted certain proliferation-related restrictions on Iran. In response to these concerns, the resolution asserts that all options should be considered to address the nuclear threat posed by Iran. It specifically demands that the Islamic Republic of Iran immediately cease all activities that threaten the national security interests of the United States, Israel, and their allies and partners. These activities include: Enriching uranium. Developing or possessing delivery vehicles capable of carrying nuclear warheads. Developing or possessing a nuclear warhead. Finally, the resolution includes a rule of construction clarifying that it does not authorize the use of military force or the introduction of United States Armed Forces into hostilities.
