,means1 for a period to be subsequently 
determined by the ,speaker1 in each case
 for consideration of such provisions as
 fall within the jurisdiction of the    
committee concerned  ,,resolution       
,calling on the ,united ,states ,senate 
to increase sanctions against ,iran4    
,whereas ,iran continues to pose a      
threat to the ,united ,states through   
its pursuit of a nuclear weapons        
capability1 work on its ballistic       
missile program1 and state sponsorship  
of terrorism2 ,whereas on ,july #ca1    
#bjac1 the ,united ,states ,house of    
,representatives passed the ,nuclear    
,iran ,prevention ,act of #bjac1 ,h4,r4 
#hej1 by an overwhelmingly bipartisan   
vote of #djj-bj-a2 ,whereas this        
legislation highlights the devastating  
threat that a nuclear-armed ,iran would 
pose to the ,united ,states1 ,united    
,states allies1 and ,united ,states     
interests globally2 ,whereas ,israel is 
a vital ally of the ,united ,states2    

,whereas ,iran1 which rejects ,israel's 
right to exist1 is a continued threat to
 the safety and security of the ,united 
,states and ,israel1 both through its   
support of terrorist groups like ,hamas 
and ,hezbollah and through its ongoing  
efforts to acquire nuclear weapons2     
,whereas ,iran has threatened to wipe   
,israel off the map1 in violation of    
article #b1 paragraph #d of the ,united 
,nations ,charter2 ,whereas ,iran       
possesses ballistic missiles that can   
reach ,israel and is working to develop 
intercontinental ballistic missiles that
 could reach the ,united ,states2       
,whereas ,iran has constructed a large  
explosives containment vessel at the    
,parchin military complex and the       
,international ,atomic ,energy ,agency  
7,,iaea7 has requested to inspect this  
complex for traces of weaponization     
research2 ,whereas the ,,iaea issued a  
report exposing ,iran's nuclear         
intentions and in ,november #bjaa       
concluded that contrary to the relevant 

resolutions of the ,board of ,governors 
and the ,security ,council1 ,iran has   
not suspended its nuclear enrichment    
related activities and continues to     
proceed with a nuclear weapons          
proliferation program1 and the ,,iaea   
,board of ,governors has issued #aj     
resolutions condemning ,iran's nuclear  
program2 ,whereas the ,united ,nations  
,security ,council has required ,iran to
 cooperate fully with the ,,iaea's      
investigation into its nuclear          
activities1 suspend its uranium         
enrichment program1 suspend its         
construction of a heavy-water reactor   
and related projects1 and ratify the    
,additional ,protocol to its ,,iaea     
safeguards agreement2 ,whereas ,iran1 in
 violation of multiple ,united ,nations 
,security ,council resolutions1 has     
continued to enrich uranium1 continued  
work on its heavy-water reactor and     
related projects1 and has not ratified  
the ,additional ,protocol to its ,,iaea 
safeguards agreement2 ,whereas multiple 

rounds of tough sanctions have been     
effective in bringing ,iran to the      
negotiating table and the threat of     
increased sanctions has the ability to  
compel ,iran to abandon its nuclear     
ambitions2 and ,whereas the ,p#ea       
interim agreement will not prevent ,iran
 from acquiring a nuclear weapons       
capability3 ,now1 therefore1 be it      
,that-- 7#a7 it is the policy of the    
,united ,states to prevent ,iran from   
acquiring a nuclear weapons capability2 
and  7#b7 the ,house of ,representatives
 calls on the ,united ,states ,senate to
 take immediate action on the ,nuclear  
,iran ,prevention ,act of #bjac to      
increase sanctions against ,iran4
