12 (1) United Nations Security Council Resolution 

13 2231 (2015)—

•HR 2118 IH

1 (A) calls upon Iran ‘‘not to undertake any 

2 activity related to ballistic missiles designed to 

3 be capable of delivering nuclear weapons, in4 cluding launches using such ballistic missile 

5 technology’’; and 

6 (B) requires member states to ‘‘take the 

7 necessary measures to prevent, except as de8 cided otherwise by the UN Security Council in 

9 advance on a case-by-case basis, the supply, 

10 sale, or transfer of arms or related materiel 

11 from Iran’’. 

12 (2) The United States maintains bilateral sanc13 tions against Iran for its efforts to manufacture, ac14 quire, possess, develop, transport, transfer or use 

15 ballistic missiles or ballistic missile launch tech16 nology, and its acquisition of destabilizing types and 

17 amounts of conventional weapons. 

18 (3) According to the 2016 Worldwide Threat 

19 Assessment, the United States intelligence commu20 nity judges ‘‘that Tehran would choose ballistic mis21 siles as its preferred method of delivering nuclear 

22 weapons, if it builds them. Iran’s ballistic missiles 

23 are inherently capable of delivering [weapons of 

24 mass destruction], and Tehran already has the larg25 est inventory of ballistic missiles in the Middle East.

•HR 2118 IH

1 Iran’s progress on space launch vehicles—along with

5 (4) Since the passage of United Nations Secu6 rity Council 2231, Iran has conducted numerous 

7 tests of ballistic missiles designed to be capable of 

8 delivering nuclear weapons, and has acquired desta9 bilizing types of conventional weapons. 

10 (5) Iran has pursued the ability to indigenously 

11 produce ballistic missile and cruise missile goods, 

12 services, and technologies. 

13 (b) STATEMENT OF POLICY.—It is the policy of the 

14 United States to prevent Iran from undertaking any activ15 ity related to ballistic missiles designed to be capable of 

16 delivering nuclear weapons, including launches using such 

17 ballistic missile technology.
