Affirming the threats to world stability from a nuclear weapons-capable Islamic Republic of Iran.

Summary

Declares a set of findings about the Islamic Republic of Iran’s nuclear activities, missile tests, past hostile acts, and IAEA concerns, while explicitly stating that the resolution does not authorize the use of U.S. military force or introduce U.S. Armed Forces into hostilities. The text is largely a factual preamble summarizing international and U.S. assessments of Iran’s enrichment, stockpiles of highly enriched uranium, surveillance-access issues, and related developments; it does not create new legal authorities, spending, or operational directives.
