was referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs 

RESOLUTION 

Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives in 

disapproval of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action 

agreed to by the P5+1 and Iran on July 14, 2015. 

Whereas a nuclear-capable Iran threatens United States national security and global stability; 

Whereas since the 1980s, Iran has engaged in a sustained 

and well-documented pattern of illicit and deceptive activities to acquire a nuclear weapons capability; 

Whereas it is the policy of the United States to prevent Iran 

from acquiring a nuclear weapons capability; 

Whereas the United Nations Security Council has adopted 6 

resolutions since 2006 demanding of Iran its full and 

sustained suspension of all uranium enrichment-related 

and reprocessing activities and its full cooperation with 

the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) on all 

outstanding issues related to its nuclear activities, particularly those concerning the possible military dimensions of its nuclear programs;

•HRES 367 IH 

Whereas Secretary of State John Kerry has publicly stated 

that the United States does not recognize Iran’s self-proclaimed right to enrich uranium; 

Whereas the United Nations Security Council has adopted 

multiple resolutions demanding of Iran its full and sustained suspension of heavy-water production efforts, including the heavy-water reactor at Arak; 

Whereas Iran is developing an arsenal of advanced long-range 

ballistic missiles, including some already capable of 

reaching India, North Africa, western China, and parts 

of eastern Europe; 

Whereas, on June 9, 2010, the United Nations Security 

Council adopted Resolution 1929, which states that ‘‘Iran 

shall not undertake any activity related to ballistic missiles capable of delivering nuclear weapons.’’; 

Whereas the United States Department of State has designated Iran as a state sponsor of terrorism since 1984 

and has characterized Iran as the ‘‘most active state 

sponsor of terrorism’’ in the world; 

Whereas Iran is a world leader in human rights violations, 

including the persecution of religious minorities and imprisonment of United States citizens; 

Whereas the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action agreed to 

between the P5+1 and Iran on July 14, 2015, fails to 

require Iran to fully dismantle its nuclear program; 

Whereas the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action provides 

Iran with billions of dollars in additional sanctions relief 

and unfrozen assets; 

Whereas the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action allows key 

restraints on Iran’s nuclear program to expire within 10

to 15 years, including those on Iran’s domestic uranium 

enrichment program and heavy-water reactor at Arak; 

Whereas the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action allows for 

lifting international restrictions on Iran with regards to 

conventional military arms and ballistic missiles; 

Whereas the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action fails to address Iran’s egregious human rights record, Iran’s role as 

the world’s leading state-sponsor of international terrorism, and Iran’s unjust imprisonment of innocent 

United States citizens; and 

Whereas the Iran Nuclear Agreement Review Act of 2015 

passed by the House of Representatives and the Senate 

and signed into law on May 22, 2015 (Public Law 114– 

17), provides Congress with the ability to vote to disapprove the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action: Now, 

therefore, be it 

1 Resolved, That the House of Representatives— 

2 (1) expresses its firm disapproval of the Joint 

3 Comprehensive Plan of Action agreed to by the 

4 P5+1 and Iran on July 14, 2015; 

5 (2) reaffirms its commitment to prevent Iran 

6 from ever acquiring a nuclear weapons capability; 

7 and 

8 (3) reaffirms its commitment to encouraging 

9 global stability and security by strongly supporting 

10 strategic regional allies.
