SEC. 2. FINDINGS. 
Congress makes the following findings: 
(1) A nuclear-capable Iran poses a direct and 
existential threat to the United States, Israel, and 
allies around the world. 
(2) Iran is a leading state sponsor of terrorism, 
arming and funding terrorist groups around the 
world, including by providing material support for 
the terrorist organization Hamas in its relentless at-
tacks on Israel. 
(3) The Government of Iran has violated 
United Nations Security Council Resolutions 1696 
(2006), 1737 (2006), 1747 (2007), 1803 (2008), 
1835 (2008), and 1929 (2010), relating to Iran’s 
nuclear program. 
(4) The Government of Iran has received sig-
nificant economic benefits from the relaxation of 
economic sanctions pursuant the Joint Plan of Ac-
tion, signed November 24, 2013, by Iran and by 
France, Germany, the Russian Federation, the Peo-
ple’s Republic of China, the United Kingdom, and 
the United States (in this section referred to as the 
‘‘Joint Plan of Action’’), including increased eco-
nomic growth, reduced inflation, and a strengthened 
currency, while making no substantive reductions in 
its nuclear program.

(5) Any deal relating to Iran’s nuclear weapons 
program that does not completely dismantle the en-
tire nuclear weapons program would repeat the same 
mistakes observed with negotiations with North 
Korea, a totalitarian country that exported its nu-
clear technology to Syria and has shared similar nu-
clear and ballistic missile technology with Iran. 
(6) The Agreed Framework between the United 
States and the Democratic People’s Republic of 
Korea, signed in Geneva on October 21, 1994, which 
called for North Korea to freeze and dismantle its 
nuclear weapons program in exchange for eased 
sanctions and normalized relations with the United 
States, should serve as a reminder of previous failed 
negotiations resulting in billions of dollars made 
available for the development of nuclear weapons. 
(7) Economic sanctions imposed with respect to 
Iran are designed for the purpose of ending Iran’s 
pursuit of a nuclear weapons capability, not of initi-
ating negotiations. Therefore, any easing of sanc-
tions in pursuit of negotiations undermines the pur-
pose of the sanctions, as is demonstrated by the case 
of North Korea.
