This resolution condemns Iran for its repeated failure to comply with its international nuclear obligations under the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) and for its lack of transparency with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). It highlights Iran's production of 60 percent enriched uranium , amounting to approximately 200 kg, which is sufficient for at least five nuclear weapons if further enriched, and its possession of undeclared nuclear material at multiple sites. The resolution also notes Iran's public statements regarding its technical capabilities to produce nuclear weapons. The resolution calls upon Iran to immediately fulfill its NPT safeguards obligations, resolve all outstanding issues, and grant full access to IAEA inspectors. It urges the United States Government, in coordination with allies, to employ all necessary diplomatic and economic measures to hold Iran accountable for its violations. Furthermore, the resolution asserts that if international efforts fail to address the nuclear threat and Iran either withdraws from the NPT or is deemed to have crossed the nuclear threshold, Congress should take steps to authorize the use of the United States Armed Forces against the Islamic Republic of Iran.
