SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND STATEMENT OF POLICY.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
            (1) Iran's acquisition of a nuclear weapons capability 
        would--
                    (A) embolden its already aggressive foreign policy, 
                including its arming of terrorist organizations and 
                other groups, its efforts to destabilize countries in 
                the Middle East, and its efforts to target the United 
                States, United States allies, and United States 
                interests globally;
                    (B) increase the risk that Iran would share its 
                nuclear technology and expertise with extremist groups 
                and rogue nations;
                    (C) destabilize global energy markets, posing a 
                direct and devastating threat to the American and 
                global economy; and
                    (D) likely lead other governments in the region to 
                pursue their own nuclear weapons programs, increasing 
                the prospect of nuclear proliferation throughout the 
                region and effectively ending the viability of the 
                global nonproliferation regime, including the Treaty on 
                the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, done at 
                Washington, London, and Moscow July 1, 1968, and 
                entered into force on March 5, 1970.
            (2) A nuclear arms-capable Iran possessing intercontinental 
        ballistic missiles, a development most experts expect could 
        occur within a decade, would pose a direct nuclear threat to 
        the United States.
    (b) Statement of Policy.--It shall be the policy of the United 
States to prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapons capability.

SEC. 105. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON ELECTIONS IN IRAN.

    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) The Iranian people are systematically denied free, 
        fair, and credible elections by the Government of the Islamic 
        Republic of Iran.
            (2) The unelected and unaccountable Guardian Council 
        disqualifies hundreds of qualified candidates, including women 
        and most religious minorities, while the regime intimidates 
        others into staying out of elections completely.
            (3) Voting inconsistencies, including an absence of 
        international observers, and fraud are commonplace.
            (4) The 2009 presidential elections proved that the regime 
        will engage in large scale vote-rigging to ensure a specific 
        result.
            (5) The Iranian regime combines electoral manipulation with 
        the ruthless suppression of dissent. Following the 2009 
        elections, peaceful demonstrators were met with violence by the 
        regime's security apparatus, including arbitrary detentions, 
        beatings, kidnappings, rapes, and murders.
            (6) The electoral manipulation and human rights violations 
        are in violation of the Government of Iran's agreed to 
        obligations under the United Nations International Covenant on 
        Civil and Political Rights.
    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress that--
            (1) the Iranian people are deprived by their government of 
        free, fair, and credible elections;
            (2) the United States should support freedom, human rights, 
        civil liberties, and the rule of law in Iran, and elections 
        that are free and fair, meet international standards, and allow 
        independent international and domestic electoral observers 
        unrestricted access to polling and counting stations; and
            (3) the United States should support the people of Iran in 
        their peaceful calls for a representative and responsive 
        democratic government that respects human rights, civil 
        liberties, and the rule of law.

SEC. 106. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON DESIGNATION OF A SPECIAL COORDINATOR FOR 
              ADVANCING HUMAN RIGHTS AND POLITICAL PARTICIPATION FOR 
              WOMEN IN IRAN.

    It is the sense of Congress that the Secretary of State should 
designate a Special Coordinator position in the Bureau of Near Eastern 
Affairs whose primary function is to facilitate cooperation across 
departments for the purpose of advancing human rights and political 
participation for women in Iran, as well as to prepare evidence and 
information to be used in identifying Iranian officials for designation 
as human rights violators for their involvement in violating the human 
rights of women in Iran.

        euro-denominated transactions, including for goods and services 
        that are subject to sanctions imposed by the United States, the 
        European Union and its member states and by the United Nations.
            (2) The Guidelines of the European Central Bank (Article 
        39(1)) states that: ``Participants shall be deemed to be aware 
        of, and shall comply with, all obligations on them relating to 
        legislation on data protection, prevention of money laundering 
        and the financing of terrorism, proliferation-sensitive nuclear 
        activities and the development of nuclear weapons delivery 
        systems, in particular in terms of implementing appropriate 
        measures concerning any payments debited or credited on their 
        PM accounts.''
            (3) United States and European convergence with respect to 
        United States sanctions efforts toward the Government of Iran 
        is a vital component of United States policy aimed at 
        preventing the Government of Iran from acquiring a nuclear 
        weapons capability.
    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that the 
President should continue to closely coordinate and cooperate with the 
European Union and its member states to restrict access to and use of 
the euro currency by the Government of Iran, its agencies and 
instrumentalities, for transactions with the exception of food, 
medicine, medical devices, and agricultural commodities.
