the sense of the ,senate on steps the

 elected ,president of ,iran1 ,hassan   
,rouhani1 is attending the #fhth session
 of the ,united ,nations ,general       
,assembly in ,new ,york ,city2 ,whereas 
the ,government of ,iran has yet to take
 any practical steps towards halting    
,iran's nuclear programs and remains a  
committed state-sponsor of terrorist    
groups that have been responsible for   
,american deaths in ,lebanon1 ,saudi    
,arabia1 ,iraq1 and ,afghanistan2       
,whereas1 since the election of         
,president ,rouhani1 the persecution by 
the ,government of ,iran of religious   

minorities1 notably ,christians1 has    
increased not decreased1 and the ,united
 ,states citizen ,pastor ,sayeed        
,abedini has endured a year of brutal   
imprisonment for professing his faith2  
,whereas ,president ,rouhani has called 
,israel the ,zionist state that has been
 a wound that has sat on the body of the
 ,muslim world for years and needs to be
 removed2 and ,whereas ,president       
,barack ,obama has signaled a           
willingness to meet with ,president     
,rouhani in ,new ,york during the       
meeting of the ,united ,nations         
,security ,council or thereafter3 ,now1 
therefore1 be it ,that it is the sense  
of the ,senate that ,president ,obama   
should not engage in any meeting with   
,president ,rouhani before the          
,government of ,iran-- 7#a7 affirms the 
right of ,israel to exist as a ,jewish  
state2 and  7#b7 immediately and without
 conditions releases all ,united ,states
 citizens unjustly detained as prisoners
 of conscience in ,iran4
