SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND STATEMENT OF POLICY. 
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds the following: 
(1) Iran’s acquisition of a nuclear weapons ca-
pability would— 
(A) embolden its already aggressive foreign 
policy, including its arming of terrorist organi-
zations and other groups, its efforts to desta-
bilize countries in the Middle East, and its ef-
forts 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 ex-
tremist groups and rogue nations; 
(C) destabilize global energy markets, pos-
ing 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 effec-
tively ending the viability of the global non-
proliferation 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 nu-
clear weapons capability.

ings: 
(1) The Iranian people are systematically de-
nied free, fair, and credible elections by the Govern-
ment 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 common-
place.
(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 ma-
nipulation with the ruthless suppression of dissent. 
Following the 2009 elections, peaceful demonstrators 
were met with violence by the regime’s security ap-
paratus, 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 Na-
tions 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 inter-
national standards, and allow independent inter-
national and domestic electoral observers unre-
stricted 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 SPE-
CIAL 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 Bu-
reau of Near Eastern Affairs whose primary function is 
to facilitate cooperation across departments for the pur-
pose of advancing human rights and political participation 
for women in Iran, as well as to prepare evidence and in-
formation to be used in identifying Iranian officials for 
designation as human rights violators for their involve-
ment in violating the human rights of women in Iran.
