Whereas, on September 24, 2005, the United States and the 

European Union achieved a majority vote of the IAEA 

board to declare Iran in noncompliance with the Nuclear 

Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and refer the issue to 

the United Nations Security Council if Iran did not return to compliance with the Paris Agreement; 

Whereas, on January 3, 2006, Iran challenged the international community by announcing it would resume uranium ‘‘research’’ activities and subsequently broke IAEA 

seals at its uranium enrichment facility at Natanz and at 

related locations; 

Whereas, on February 4, 2006, at an emergency IAEA board 

meeting, the board voted 27–3 in favor of a resolution to 

‘‘report’’ to the Security Council the steps required of 

Iran to return to compliance with the Paris Agreement; 

Whereas after this vote, Iran ceased allowing the voluntary 

IAEA inspections that had been agreed to in the previous 

negotiations with England, France, and Germany and 

had the IAEA remove some monitoring equipment; 

Whereas the IAEA report of February 27, 2006, stated that 

inspectors reportedly confirmed on February 14, 2006, 

that Iran had begun some enrichment activities involving 

10 centrifuges; and 

Whereas, on April 11, 2006, Iran announced the successful 

enrichment of uranium: Now, therefore, be it 

1 Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Rep2 resentatives that— 

3 (1) the United Nations Security Council should 

4 sanction Iran for its noncompliance with Nuclear 

5 Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT); and
