That the House of Representatives— supports the continued efforts of the International Atomic Energy Agency to verify Iran’s compliance with its Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons Safeguards Agreement; condemns Iran for its persistent failure to cooperate with the International Atomic Energy Agency and for its lack of transparency regarding its nuclear program; calls upon Iran to immediately fulfill its obligations under its Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons Safeguards Agreement and resolve all outstanding safeguards issues; urges Iran to reinstate the designation of all necessary International Atomic Energy Agency inspectors and provide them with full and unfettered access to all relevant nuclear sites; calls on the United States Government, in coordination with international allies and partners, to take all necessary diplomatic and economic measures to hold Iran accountable for its violations of its nuclear commitments; supports the International Atomic Energy Agency Director General’s ongoing efforts to engage with Iran and urges Iran to comply with its international nuclear obligations and to end its continued pursuit of nuclear weapons; and asserts that should international efforts fail to address the nuclear threat posed by Iran, and should Iran withdraw from the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons or should the United States National Intelligence Estimate conclude that Iran has crossed the nuclear threshold, Congress should take all necessary and appropriate steps to authorize the use of the United States Armed Forces against the Islamic Republic of Iran.
