,,iv #aaith ,,congress #ast ,session ,h4 ,,res4 #eed ,,in ,,the ,,house ,,of ,,representatives ,june #bg1 #bjbe,mr4 ,baumgartner 7for himself1 ,mr4 ,pfluger1 ,mr4 ,nunn of ,iowa1 ,mr4 ,lawler1 and ,ms4 ,salazar7 submitted the following resolution2 which was referred to the ,committee on ,foreign ,affairs1 and in addition to the ,committee on ,armed ,services1 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 ,supporting ,president ,trump's decisive actions to dismantle ,iran's nuclear weapons program and affirming unwavering support for the ,state of ,israel's right to self-defense4 ,whereas the ,islamic ,republic of ,iran remains the world's leading state sponsor of terrorism and poses a direct and escalating threat to the national security of the ,united ,states1 our servicemembers abroad1 and our allies1 particularly ,israel1 through its pursuit of nuclear weapons1 ballistic missile development1 proxy terrorism1 cyberwarfare1 and its open hostility toward ,united ,states values and interests2 ,whereas ,iran has continued to escalate its aggression across the ,middle ,east1 including by launching large-scale missile and drone attacks directly against the ,state of ,israel and ,united ,states assets in the region2 ,whereas ,iran has expanded strategic cooperation with both the ,russian ,federation and the ,people's ,republic of ,china1 including the supply of drones and missiles used by ,russian forces in ,ukraine and participation in joint naval exercises in the ,persian ,gulf and ,indian ,ocean2 ,whereas ,iran has signed a #be-year strategic agreement with ,china worth #djj billion which spans military1 intelligence1 cyber1 and energy sectors1 and has enabled ,iran to evade ,western sanctions and advance both its nuclear and ballistic missile programs2 ,whereas the ,iran-backed ,houthi rebels1 also known as ,ansar ,allah1 increased their missile and drone attacks against ,united ,states forces1 ,israeli civilians1 and commercial shipping in the ,red ,sea1 utilizing advanced ,iranian-supplied weaponry to threaten vital maritime routes1 regional security1 and ,united ,states citizens lives2 ,whereas1 on ,october #g1 #bjbc1 ,hamas terrorists carried out the deadliest massacre of ,jews since the ,holocaust1 killing over #a1bjj ,israeli civilians1 including women1 children1 and the elderly1 committing acts of rape and mutilation1 and taking more than #bjj hostages2 ,whereas the attack was materially enabled by ,iran's longstanding support1 including funding1 weapons1 training1 military technology1 and logistical coordination1 as well as meetings between ,hamas leadership and ,iran's ,islamic ,revolutionary ,guard ,corps 7,,irgc7 in ,beirut in the weeks prior2 ,whereas senior ,iranian leaders have repeatedly threatened the destruction of ,israel and explicitly warned of nuclear strikes1 including ,supreme ,leader ,ayatollah ,ali ,khamenei's statement on ,january #c1 #bjbe1 declaring that ,israel will be wiped off the map1 and statements by ,iranian generals threatening nuclear retaliation against ,israeli cities if attacked2 ,whereas the ,obama administration's #bjae ,joint ,comprehensive ,plan of ,action 7,,jcpoa7 provided ,iran with international legitimacy to enrich uranium1 allowed it to retain thousands of centrifuges1 excluded its ballistic missile program from restrictions1 and granted over #ajj billion in sanctions relief1 which the regime redirected to expand its military and terror networks2 ,whereas the ,biden administration not only reversed key elements of the first ,trump administration's ,maximum ,pressure policy but also accelerated the ,obama-era strategy of appeasement by easing sanctions enforcement and enabling a surge in ,iranian oil sales1 thereby emboldening ,iran's aggression2 ,whereas when a hostile regime like the ,islamic ,republic of ,iran builds hardened nuclear enrichment facilities such as ,fordow1 installs advanced centrifuges capable of enriching uranium to weapons-grade levels1 arms proxy forces with precision-guided munitions1 and repeatedly signals intent to strike ,united ,states personnel and allies1 the threat is no longer hypothetical1 it is ongoing1 imminent1 and real2 ,whereas ,iran has engaged in a pattern of escalating behavior1 including enrichment beyond ,,jcpoa limits1 obstruction of ,,iaea inspections1 missile transfers to proxies1 and public threats to destroy ,israel and retaliate against the ,united ,states1 demonstrating both capability and intent to conduct strategic attacks2 ,whereas the ,islamic ,republic of ,iran has repeatedly rejected ,president ,trump's good faith diplomatic efforts by the ,united ,states and other parties to address its nuclear program2 ,whereas ,iran's rejection of ,president ,trump's clear and fair ultimatum demonstrates its bad-faith approach and unwillingness to abandon its nuclear ambitions1 thereby necessitating continued strong ,united ,states leadership and unwavering support for ,israel2 ,whereas1 in this context1 on ,june #ba1 #bjbe1 following ,iran's continued refusal to negotiate with the ,united ,states1 the ,u4,s4 ,air ,force launched a targeted strike on three ,iranian nuclear facilities1 a proportionate and lawful act of national defense consistent with longstanding norms and ,united ,states law2 ,whereas the ,united ,states strike on ,iranian nuclear facilities was not an act of escalation1 but a proportionate and lawful act of national and collective defense consistent with longstanding norms and preemptive self-defense2 ,whereas this strike dealt a devastating blow to the regime's aspirations of achieving a nuclear weapon2 and ,whereas the ,house of ,representatives stands firmly with ,israel in its rightful acts of self-defense and affirms its support for ,president ,trump's effective ,maximum ,pressure strategy1 which is successfully confronting the ,iranian threat1 restoring ,american credibility1 and defeating ,iran's nuclear ambitions and regional aggression3 ,now1 therefore1 be it ,that the ,house of ,representatives-- 7#a7 hails the success of ,operation ,midnight ,hammer1 commending ,president ,trump and our ,nation's ,armed ,forces for their successful efforts to disrupt ,iran's nuclear weapons infrastructure1 neutralize a continuing and imminent threat1 and restore critical regional deterrence2 7#b7 reaffirms that it must be the continued position of the ,united ,states to ensure that ,iran is never permitted to build a nuclear weapon1 and embraces the policy objective of preventing a nuclear-armed ,iran through permanent1 verifiable prohibition on all enrichment activities1 weapons development1 and ballistic missile delivery systems1 by diplomatic means wherever possible1 and through force only when necessary to protect the ,united ,states and allied security2 7#c7 reaffirms unwavering support for the ,state of ,israel's right to self-defense and calls for continued ,united ,states and ,israel defense coordination1 including timely replenishment of missile defense systems such as the ,iron ,dome and ,david's ,sling2 7#d7 applauds the ,trump administration's renewed call for ,iran to return to negotiations aimed at ending hostilities1 curtailing proxy aggression1 and dismantling its nuclear weapons program1 and emphasizes that such diplomacy must be backed by sustained pressure and regional cooperation2 7#e7 urges the ,united ,kingdom1 ,france1 and ,germany to leverage their diplomatic influence with ,iran to press for immediate deescalation and reengagement in serious negotiations1 while coordinating with the ,united ,states on sanctions enforcement and contingency measures under ,resolution #bbca2 and 7#f7 affirms that the ,united ,states does not seek war with the ,iranian people1 but rather seeks to end the regime's nuclear weapons pursuit and regional aggression1 and expresses solidarity with the ,iranian people in their aspirations for peace1 dignity1 and fundamental freedoms4
