What this bill does
This Senate resolution expresses the sense of the Senate on actions the U.S. should take if Iran violates the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) or other nuclear weapons-related agreements. Specifically, it outlines various scenarios of potential Iranian violations, ranging from pursuing nuclear weapons to specific activities related to the Arak reactor and uranium enrichment. If any of these violations occur, the resolution states the Senate's view that the U.S. should seek to reapply United Nations Security Council resolutions, advocate for new UN Security Council action, work with international partners to reapply EU sanctions, and immediately reapply waived U.S. nuclear-related sanctions.
The resolution affects the United States government, particularly the Senate and the Executive Branch, by providing a statement of the Senate's intentions regarding U.S. policy towards Iran in the event of a JCPOA violation. It also indirectly relates to Iran by detailing potential violations of its nuclear commitments. The resolution was introduced in the Senate on April 6, 2016, and referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations. As a "sense of the Senate" resolution, it does not have the force of law but serves as a non-binding expression of the Senate's opinion.
