This resolution, S. RES. 43, affirms that a nuclear weapons-capable Islamic Republic of Iran constitutes a credible threat to the United States and an existential threat to Israel and other allies in the Middle East. It highlights Iran's history of hostile statements against the U.S. and Israel, its direct responsibility for attacks on U.S. servicemembers, and its substantial financial and material support for designated terrorist organizations like Hizballah and Hamas. The resolution details Iran's escalating nuclear program, noting its enrichment of uranium to high purity levels, increased stockpiles, and the development of advanced centrifuges, which have no credible civilian justification. It references numerous reports from the IAEA and U.S. intelligence agencies expressing serious concerns about Iran's lack of cooperation and its capacity to quickly produce weapons-grade uranium. The resolution asserts that all options should be considered to address the significant nuclear threat Iran poses. Finally, the resolution 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. Specifically, this includes halting uranium enrichment, developing or possessing delivery vehicles capable of carrying nuclear warheads, and developing or possessing nuclear warheads. A rule of construction clarifies that this resolution does not authorize the use of military force.
