A resolution calling on the Biden Administration to pursue censure of Iran at the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), refer the issue to the United Nations Security Council, and reaffirm that all measures will be taken to prevent the regime in Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons.
Senate Resolution 717 calls on the Biden Administration to pursue three specific actions regarding Iran's nuclear program: censure Iran at the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), refer the issue to the UN Security Council, and reaffirm measures to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. It directly addresses the executive branch, urging diplomatic and multilateral steps based on Iran's noncompliance with nuclear safeguards under the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). The resolution cites Iran's enrichment of uranium to 60% purity, advanced centrifuge development, and obstruction of IAEA inspections as key justifications. It does not create new laws or impose direct requirements but seeks to guide U.S. diplomatic strategy at international forums.
