This resolution affirms that a nuclear-weapons-capable Islamic Republic of Iran poses significant threats to global stability, citing numerous hostile statements from Iranian officials against the United States, Israel, and their allies. It highlights Iran's direct responsibility for the death and injury of U.S. servicemembers through proxy attacks and its substantial financial backing of terrorist groups like Hezbollah and Hamas, demonstrating its consistent engagement in international terrorism. The resolution details Iran's escalating nuclear program, including its history of uranium enrichment to near weapons-grade levels, the clandestine Fordow plant, and the development of ballistic missiles. It notes Iran's non-cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), its increasing stockpiles of highly enriched uranium, and its ability to quickly produce weapons-grade material, leading to serious international concerns about its lack of credible civilian justification. The Senate affirms that Iran's pursuit of nuclear weapons capability is a credible threat to the United States and an existential threat to Israel and other Middle Eastern allies. It asserts that all options should be considered to address this nuclear threat and demands Iran immediately cease activities like uranium enrichment, developing nuclear warhead delivery vehicles, and possessing nuclear warheads. A crucial provision clarifies that nothing in this resolution authorizes the use of military force or the introduction of U.S. Armed Forces into hostilities.
