SEC. 2. UNITED STATES POLICY TOWARD IRAN. 
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds the following:
(1) The prospect of the Islamic Republic of 
Iran achieving nuclear arms represents a grave 
threat to the United States and its allies in the Mid-
dle East, Europe, and globally. 
(2) The nature of this threat is manifold, rang-
ing from the vastly enhanced political influence ex-
tremist Iran would wield in its region, including the 
ability to intimidate its neighbors, to, at its most 
nightmarish, the prospect that Iran would attack its 
neighbors and others with nuclear arms. This con-
cern is illustrated by the statement of Hashemi 
Rafsanjani, former president of Iran and currently a 
prominent member of two of Iran’s most important 
decisionmaking bodies, of December 14, 2001, when 
he said that it ‘‘is not irrational to contemplate’’ the 
use of nuclear weapons. 
(3) The theological nature of the Iranian re-
gime creates a special urgency in addressing Iran’s 
efforts to acquire nuclear weapons. 
(4) Iranian regime leaders have persistently de-
nied Israel’s right to exist. Current President 
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has called for Israel to be 
‘‘wiped off the map’’ and the Government of Iran 
has displayed inflammatory symbols that express 
similar intent.
(5) The nature of the Iranian threat makes it 
critical that the United States and its allies do ev-
erything possible—diplomatically, politically, and 
economically—to prevent Iran from acquiring nu-
clear-arms capability and persuade the Iranian re-
gime to halt its quest for nuclear arms. 
(b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of the 
Congress that— 
(1) Iranian President Ahmadinejad’s persistent 
denials of the Holocaust and his repeated assertions 
that Israel should be ‘‘wiped off the map’’ may con-
stitute a violation of the Convention on the Preven-
tion and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide and 
should be brought before an appropriate inter-
national tribunal for the purpose of declaring Iran 
in breach of the Genocide Convention; 
(2) the United States should increase use of its 
important role in the international financial sector to 
isolate Iran; 
(3) Iran should be barred from entering the 
World Trade Organization (WTO) until all issues re-
lated to its nuclear program are resolved; 
(4) all future free trade agreements entered 
into by the United States should be conditioned on 
the requirement that the parties to such agreements
pledge not to invest and not to allow companies 
based in its territory or controlled by its citizens to 
invest in Iran’s energy sector or otherwise to make 
significant investment in Iran; 
(5) United Nations Security Council Resolu-
tions 1737 (December 23, 2006) and 1747 (March 
24, 2007), which were passed unanimously and man-
date an immediate and unconditional suspension of 
Iran’s nuclear enrichment program, represent a crit-
ical gain in the worldwide campaign to prevent 
Iran’s acquisition of nuclear arms and should be 
fully respected by all nations; 
(6) the United Nations Security Council should 
take further measures beyond Resolutions 1737 and 
1747 to tighten sanctions on Iran, including pre-
venting new investment in Iran’s energy sector, as 
long as Iran fails to comply with the international 
community’s demand to halt its nuclear enrichment 
campaign; 
(7) the United States should encourage foreign 
governments to direct state-owned entities to cease 
all investment in Iran’s energy sector and all exports 
of refined petroleum products to Iran and to per-
suade, and, where possible, require private entities 
based in their territories to cease all investment in
