RESOLUTION 
Supporting President Trump’s decisive actions to dismantle 
Iran’s nuclear weapons program and affirming unwaver-
ing support for the State of Israel’s right to self-defense. 
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 
States, our servicemembers abroad, and our allies, par-
ticularly Israel, through its pursuit of nuclear weapons, 
ballistic 
missile 
development, 
proxy 
terrorism, 
cyberwarfare, and its open hostility toward United States 
values and interests;

Whereas Iran has continued to escalate its aggression across 
the Middle East, including by launching large-scale mis-
sile and drone attacks directly against the State of Israel 
and United States assets in the region; 
Whereas Iran has expanded strategic cooperation with both 
the Russian Federation and the People’s Republic of 
China, 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 Ocean; 
Whereas Iran has signed a 25-year strategic agreement with 
China worth $400 billion which spans military, intel-
ligence, cyber, and energy sectors, and has enabled Iran 
to evade Western sanctions and advance both its nuclear 
and ballistic missile programs; 
Whereas the Iran-backed Houthi rebels, also known as Ansar 
Allah, increased their missile and drone attacks against 
United States forces, Israeli civilians, and commercial 
shipping in the Red Sea, utilizing advanced Iranian-sup-
plied weaponry to threaten vital maritime routes, regional 
security, and United States citizens lives; 
Whereas, on October 7, 2023, Hamas terrorists carried out 
the deadliest massacre of Jews since the Holocaust, kill-
ing over 1,200 Israeli civilians, including women, chil-
dren, and the elderly, committing acts of rape and muti-
lation, and taking more than 200 hostages; 
Whereas the attack was materially enabled by Iran’s long-
standing support, including funding, weapons, training, 
military technology, and logistical coordination, as well as 
meetings between Hamas leadership and Iran’s Islamic 
Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) in Beirut in the 
weeks prior;

Whereas senior Iranian leaders have repeatedly threatened 
the destruction of Israel and explicitly warned of nuclear 
strikes, 
including 
Supreme 
Leader 
Ayatollah 
Ali 
Khamenei’s statement on January 3, 2025, declaring 
that ‘‘Israel will be wiped off the map’’, and statements 
by Iranian generals threatening nuclear retaliation 
against Israeli cities if attacked; 
Whereas the Obama administration’s 2015 Joint Comprehen-
sive Plan of Action (JCPOA) provided Iran with inter-
national legitimacy to enrich uranium, allowed it to re-
tain thousands of centrifuges, excluded its ballistic mis-
sile program from restrictions, and granted over $100 
billion in sanctions relief, which the regime redirected to 
expand its military and terror networks; 
Whereas the Biden administration not only reversed key ele-
ments of the first Trump administration’s Maximum 
Pressure policy but also accelerated the Obama-era strat-
egy of appeasement by easing sanctions enforcement and 
enabling a surge in Iranian oil sales, thereby emboldening 
Iran’s aggression; 
Whereas when a hostile regime like the Islamic Republic of 
Iran builds hardened nuclear enrichment facilities such 
as Fordow, installs advanced centrifuges capable of en-
riching uranium to weapons-grade levels, arms proxy 
forces with precision-guided munitions, and repeatedly 
signals intent to strike United States personnel and al-
lies, the threat is no longer hypothetical, it is ongoing, 
imminent, and real; 
Whereas Iran has engaged in a pattern of escalating behav-
ior, including enrichment beyond JCPOA limits, obstruc-
tion of IAEA inspections, missile transfers to proxies, 
and public threats to destroy Israel and retaliate against

the United States, demonstrating both capability and in-
tent to conduct strategic attacks; 
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 
program; 
Whereas Iran’s rejection of President Trump’s clear and fair 
ultimatum demonstrates its bad-faith approach and un-
willingness to abandon its nuclear ambitions, thereby ne-
cessitating continued strong United States leadership and 
unwavering support for Israel; 
Whereas, in this context, on June 21, 2025, following Iran’s 
continued refusal to negotiate with the United States, the 
U.S. Air Force launched a targeted strike on three Ira-
nian nuclear facilities, a proportionate and lawful act of 
national defense consistent with longstanding norms and 
United States law; 
Whereas the United States strike on Iranian nuclear facilities 
was not an act of escalation, but a proportionate and 
lawful act of national and collective defense consistent 
with longstanding norms and preemptive self-defense; 
Whereas this strike dealt a devastating blow to the regime’s 
aspirations of achieving a nuclear weapon; 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 Pres-
sure strategy, which is successfully confronting the Ira-
nian threat, restoring American credibility, and defeating 
Iran’s nuclear ambitions and regional aggression: Now, 
therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives—

(1) hails the success of Operation Midnight 
Hammer, commending President Trump and our 
Nation’s Armed Forces for their successful efforts to 
disrupt Iran’s nuclear weapons infrastructure, neu-
tralize a continuing and imminent threat, and re-
store critical regional deterrence; 
(2) reaffirms that it must be the continued po-
sition of the United States to ensure that Iran is 
never permitted to build a nuclear weapon, and em-
braces the policy objective of preventing a nuclear- 
armed Iran through permanent, verifiable prohibi-
tion on all enrichment activities, weapons develop-
ment, and ballistic missile delivery systems, by diplo-
matic means wherever possible, and through force 
only when necessary to protect the United States 
and allied security; 
(3) reaffirms unwavering support for the State 
of Israel’s right to self-defense and calls for contin-
ued United States and Israel defense coordination, 
including timely replenishment of missile defense 
systems such as the Iron Dome and David’s Sling; 
(4) applauds the Trump administration’s re-
newed call for Iran to return to negotiations aimed 
at ending hostilities, curtailing proxy aggression, and 
dismantling its nuclear weapons program, and em-

phasizes that such diplomacy must be backed by 
sustained pressure and regional cooperation; 
(5) urges the United Kingdom, France, and 
Germany to leverage their diplomatic influence with 
Iran to press for immediate deescalation and re-
engagement in serious negotiations, while coordi-
nating with the United States on sanctions enforce-
ment and contingency measures under Resolution 
2231; and 
(6) affirms that the United States does not 
seek war with the Iranian people, but rather seeks 
to end the regime’s nuclear weapons pursuit and re-
gional aggression, and expresses solidarity with the 
Iranian people in their aspirations for peace, dignity, 
and fundamental freedoms.
