,,of ,,the ,,united ,,states  ,october  
#af1 #bjac,mr4 ,rubio 7for himself and  
,mr4 ,risch7 submitted the following    
resolution2 which was referred to the   
,committee on ,foreign ,relations       
,,resolution  ,expressing the sense of  
the ,senate on ,united ,states policy   
regarding possession of enrichment and  
reprocessing capabilities by the        
,islamic ,republic of ,iran4  ,whereas  
diplomats from the ,islamic ,republic of
 ,iran1 the ,european ,union1 the       
,united ,states1 the ,united ,kingdom1  
,germany1 ,france1 ,china1 and ,russia  
continue to discuss the ,government of  
,iran's illicit nuclear weapons program2
 ,whereas ,president of ,iran ,hasan    
,rouhani has in the past bragged about  
his success in buying time for ,iran to 
make nuclear advances2 ,whereas ,iranian
 ,supreme ,leader ,ayatollah ,khamenei1 
who retains control over ,iran's nuclear
 program1 recently claimed that ,iran   

did not desire nuclear weapons but said 
that if ,iran intended to possess       
nuclear weapons1 no power could stop us2
 ,whereas the ,government of ,iran      
continues to expand ,iran's nuclear and 
missile programs in violation of        
multiple ,united ,nations ,security     
,council resolutions2 ,whereas the      
,government of ,iran has a decades-long 
track record of cheating on and         
violating commitments regarding its     
nuclear program and has used more than  
#aj years of diplomatic negotiations to 
buy more time to expand its nuclear     
weapons program2 ,whereas ,iran remains 
the world's number one exporter of      
terrorism and as recently as #bjaa was  
plotting to assassinate a foreign       
official on ,united ,states soil2       
,whereas1 over the last three decades1  
the ,government of ,iran and its        
terrorist proxies have been responsible 
for the deaths of ,americans2 ,whereas  
the ,government of ,iran and its        
terrorist proxies continue to provide   

military and financial support to the   
regime of ,bashar al-,assad in ,syria1  
aiding his regime's mass killing of     
civilians2 ,whereas the ,government of  
,iran continues to sow instability in   
its region and to threaten its          
neighbors1 including ,united ,states    
allies such as ,israel2 ,whereas the    
,government of ,iran denies its people  
their fundamental freedoms1 including   
freedom of the press1 freedom of        
assembly1 freedom of religion1 and      
freedom of conscience2 ,whereas         
international and ,united ,states       
sanctions imposed on ,iran have assisted
 in bringing ,iran to the negotiating   
table2 ,whereas other countries1 such as
 ,north ,korea1 have used diplomatic    
talks regarding their nuclear programs  
to allow time for the development of    
nuclear weapons2 ,whereas1 based on the 
,government of ,iran's stockpile of low 
enriched uranium and its plan to        
continue installing advanced            
centrifuges1 the ,government of ,iran   

could agree to suspend all enrichment   
above #c4e percent and still be in a    
position to produce weapons-grade       
uranium without detection by the middle 
of next year2 ,whereas1 if the          
,government of ,iran starts up its heavy
 water reactor in ,arak1 it could       
establish an alternate pathway to a     
nuclear weapon1 producing enough        
plutonium each year for one or two      
nuclear weapons2 ,whereas #ai other     
nations currently access peaceful       
nuclear energy without any enrichment or
 reprocessing activities on their soil2 
and ,whereas the ,government of ,iran   
could likewise achieve access to        
peaceful nuclear energy without         
enrichment or reprocessing activities on
 its own soil3 ,now1 therefore1 be it   
,that it is the sense of the ,senate    
that-- 7#a7 it shall be the policy of   
the ,united ,states that the ,government
 of ,iran will not be allowed to develop
 a nuclear weapon and that all          
instruments of ,united ,states power and

 influence remain on the table to       
prevent this outcome2  7#b7 the         
,government of ,iran does not have an   
absolute or inherent right to enrichment
 and reprocessing technologies under the
 ,treaty on the ,non-,proliferation of  
,nuclear ,weapons1 done at ,washington1 
,london1 and ,moscow ,july #a1 #aifh1   
and entered into force ,march #e1 #aigj 
7commonly known as the ,nuclear         
,non-,proliferation ,treaty72  7#c7     
relief of sanctions related to ,iran's  
nuclear program imposed upon ,iran by   
the ,united ,states should only be      
provided once ,iran has completely      
abandoned its nuclear weapons program1  
including any enrichment or reprocessing
 capability1 and has provided complete  
transparency to the ,international      
,atomic ,energy ,agency regarding its   
work on weaponization of a nuclear      
device2 and  7#d7 until the ,government 
of ,iran has taken the actions set forth
 in paragraph 7#c71 ,congress should    
move to pass a new round of additional  

sanctions without delay4
