This resolution expresses strong support for President Trump's actions aimed at dismantling Iran's nuclear weapons program and unequivocally affirms the State of Israel's right to self-defense. It characterizes Iran as the world's leading state sponsor of terrorism, posing a direct and escalating threat to the United States, its servicemembers, and allies, particularly Israel, through its pursuit of nuclear weapons, ballistic missile development, and proxy terrorism. The resolution highlights Iran's increasing aggression, including missile and drone attacks against Israel and U.S. assets, and its expanding strategic cooperation with Russia and China. The resolution criticizes past U.S. policies, such as the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) and subsequent approaches, for allegedly enabling Iran's nuclear ambitions and regional aggression. It specifically commends the U.S. Air Force's targeted strike on June 21, 2025, dubbed "Operation Midnight Hammer," against three Iranian nuclear facilities, describing it as a proportionate and lawful act of national defense that dealt a significant blow to Iran's nuclear aspirations. The resolution reaffirms the U.S. commitment to preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons, advocating for a permanent and verifiable prohibition on all enrichment activities and ballistic missile systems, using diplomatic means where possible and force when necessary. Furthermore, the resolution reiterates unwavering support for Israel's self-defense and calls for continued U.S.-Israel defense coordination, including the timely replenishment of missile defense systems like the Iron Dome. It applauds the Trump administration's renewed call for Iran to return to negotiations to end hostilities and dismantle its nuclear program, emphasizing that such diplomacy must be backed by sustained pressure and regional cooperation. The resolution also urges the United Kingdom, France, and Germany to leverage their diplomatic influence for de-escalation and re-engagement, while coordinating on sanctions enforcement, and clarifies that the U.S. seeks to end the Iranian regime's nuclear pursuit and regional aggression, not war with the Iranian people.
