Resolution 1696, insisting that Tehran would continue to 
pursue its nuclear program; 
Whereas Iran also has refused United Nations Secretary– 
General Kofi Annan’s diplomatic efforts for Iran to com-
ply with Security Council Resolution 1696; 
Whereas compliance by Iran with the International Atomic 
Energy Agency (IAEA) Board of Governors’ require-
ments relating to nuclear nonproliferation would con-
tribute to a diplomatic, negotiated solution that would en-
sure Iran’s nuclear program was carried out solely for 
peaceful purposes; 
Whereas Iran is a non-nuclear-weapon State Party to the 
Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons 
(NPT) signed on July 1, 1968, under which Iran is obli-
gated, pursuant to Article II of the Treaty, ‘‘not to re-
ceive the transfer from any transferor whatsoever of nu-
clear weapons or other nuclear explosive devices or of 
control over such weapons or explosive devices directly, or 
indirectly; not to manufacture or otherwise acquire nu-
clear weapons or other nuclear explosive devices; and not 
to seek or receive any assistance in the manufacture of 
nuclear weapons or other nuclear explosive devices’’; 
Whereas on June 19, 1973, Iran signed the Agreement Be-
tween Iran and the International Atomic Energy Agency 
for the Application of Safeguards in Connection with the 
Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons 
(NPT Safeguards Agreement), which requires Iran to re-
port the importation and use of nuclear material, to de-
clare nuclear facilities, and to accept safeguards on nu-
clear materials and activities to ensure that such mate-
rials and activities are not diverted to any military pur-
pose and are used for peaceful purposes and activities;

Whereas since January 1984, Iran has been identified by the 
Department of State as one of the most active state 
sponsors of terrorism and has remained close to achieving 
nuclear weapon capabilities; 
Whereas the Government of Iran concealed major aspects of 
its nuclear program from the IAEA and the international 
community for nearly two decades until they were re-
vealed in 2002; 
Whereas since February 2003, the Government of Iran has 
consistently misled the United Nations, the IAEA, the 
European Union 3—the United Kingdom, France, and 
Germany—(EU–3), and the United States of the goals 
and extent of its nuclear program and has not been held 
accountable for these treaty violations; 
Whereas after more than three years, the IAEA is still con-
cerned about the existing lack of knowledge of Iran’s nu-
clear program and the inability to provide reassurance 
about Iran’s nuclear material and activities; 
Whereas on September 24, 2005, the IAEA passed a resolu-
tion finding Iran in noncompliance with the NPT Safe-
guards Agreement; 
Whereas the United Nations Security Council called on Iran 
to comply with the IAEA resolution, and in response, 
Iran indicated it would not comply with the IAEA resolu-
tion and would continue its nuclear enrichment activities; 
Whereas on January 3, 2006, Iran broke IAEA seals at its 
uranium enrichment facility at Natanz, and announced it 
would continue uranium ‘‘research’’ activities at the facil-
ity, which are constructed partially underground, and 
therefore raise concerns about Iran’s true intentions;

Whereas in the IAEA Director General’s report of February 
27, 2006, many remaining concerns were listed regarding 
Iran’s nuclear program and the IAEA declared it was un-
able to conclude that Iran was not pursuing nuclear ac-
tivities; 
Whereas on April 11, 2006, Iran announced its decision to 
resume and expand its activities of enrichment of ura-
nium and continued to suspend its cooperation with the 
IAEA under the NPT Safeguards Agreement; 
Whereas on June 6, 2006, the EU–3, Russia, China, and the 
United States offered Iran a new negotiating proposal, 
providing incentives and disincentives if Iran would, in 
return, suspend enrichment- and reprocessing-related ac-
tivities, resume implementation of the NPT Safeguards 
Agreement, and fully cooperate with the IAEA; 
Whereas Iran has refused this offer as presented; 
Whereas on July 15, 2006, Iran carried out the second test 
firing of the 1,350 km-range ballistic missile named 
Shehab-3 which is capable of reaching Israel; 
Whereas Iran’s pursuit of nuclear weapons is a direct threat 
to international peace and security; 
Whereas the regime in Iran has clearly and publicly stated 
the intent behind its nuclear program, including calling 
for Israel to be ‘‘wiped off the map’’ at a conference ti-
tled ‘‘A World without Zionism’’ held in October 2005 in 
Tehran; 
Whereas the regime in Iran openly funds and supports ter-
rorist organizations and Islamic militias in Iraq, the Pal-
estinian territories, the Persian Gulf states, and Lebanon 
and thus is deliberately attempting to foster instability in 
these countries and regions;

Whereas Iran is deliberately trying to deflect attention away 
from its nuclear activities by funding and training ter-
rorist groups, such as Hezbollah, which initiated the cur-
rent conflict against Israel; and 
Whereas if Iran continues to pretend to pursue negotiating 
tactics with the United States and other countries and 
international organizations while at the same time build-
ing its nuclear program, Iran will eventually possess 
deadly nuclear capabilities to the detriment of the global 
community: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate 
concurring), That Congress— 
(1) condemns in the strongest possible terms 
Iran’s repeated failure to fulfill its nuclear non-
proliferation obligations; 
(2) calls on the United Nations Security Coun-
cil and all civilized nations to equally condemn Iran 
for violations of its nuclear nonproliferation obliga-
tions; 
(3) calls on the United Nations Security Coun-
cil and all civilized nations to also condemn Iran for 
its stated desire to use its nuclear capabilities to en-
sure Israel is ‘‘wiped off the map’’, and other anti- 
Semitic statements and policies pursued by the Ira-
nian Government;
