			2.Findings and
			 statement of policy
			(a)FindingsCongress finds the following:
				(1)Iran’s acquisition
			 of a nuclear weapons capability would—
					(A)embolden its
			 already aggressive foreign policy, including its arming of terrorist
			 organizations and other groups, its efforts to destabilize countries in the
			 Middle East, and its efforts 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 extremist
			 groups and rogue nations;
					(C)destabilize global
			 energy markets, posing 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 effectively ending the
			 viability of the global nonproliferation 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
			 policyIt shall be the policy of the United States to prevent
			 Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapons capability.

			 commonplace.
					(4)The 2009
			 presidential elections proved that the regime will engage in large scale
			 vote-rigging to ensure a specific result.

			 combines electoral manipulation with the ruthless suppression of dissent.
			 Following the 2009 elections, peaceful demonstrators were met with violence by
			 the regime’s security apparatus, including arbitrary detentions, beatings,
			 kidnappings, rapes, and murders.

			 manipulation and human rights violations are in violation of the Government of
			 Iran’s agreed to obligations under the United Nations International Covenant on
			 Civil and Political Rights.

			 CongressIt is the sense of the Congress that—

			 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 international standards, and
			 allow independent international and domestic electoral observers unrestricted
			 access to polling and counting stations; and

			 liberties, and the rule of law.

			 Congress on designation of a Special Coordinator for advancing human rights and
			 political participation for women in IranIt is the sense of Congress that the
			 Secretary of State should designate a Special Coordinator position in the
			 Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs whose primary function is to facilitate
			 cooperation across departments for the purpose of advancing human rights and
			 political participation for women in Iran, as well as to prepare evidence and
			 information to be used in identifying Iranian officials for designation as
			 human rights violators for their involvement in violating the human rights of
			 women in Iran.
