This resolution affirms the Senate's position on the acceptable outcome of any nuclear deal between the United States and the Islamic Republic of Iran. It specifies that such an outcome must first involve the complete dismantlement and destruction of Iran's entire nuclear program, followed by an Agreement for Peaceful Nuclear Cooperation, commonly known as a "123 Agreement." The "123 Agreement" would be contingent upon Iran adopting the International Atomic Energy Agency's (IAEA) additional protocols for nuclear safeguards verification. Furthermore, it would require Iran to forgo domestic uranium enrichment, the reprocessing of spent fuel, and the development or possession of any related infrastructure or capacity. The resolution details that complete dismantlement includes disclosing and dismantling all nuclear, biological, and chemical weapons programs, allowing unconditional international inspector access, and providing comprehensive information to the IAEA. It also mandates allowing the IAEA to collect environmental samples, monitor communications, and receive unimpeded entry for designated inspectors of all nationalities. The Senate commends past direct talks and recognizes the need to address Iran's history of non-compliance and its stated intentions regarding Israel in any negotiations.
