2.Congress makes the following
findings:
(1)Successive
presidents have clearly identified the unacceptability of the Iranian regime’s
pursuit of nuclear weapons capabilities and the danger that pursuit presents to
the United States, to allies and partners of the United States, and to global
security.
(2)In May 1995,
President Bill Clinton stated, The specter of an Iran armed with weapons
of mass destruction and the missiles to deliver them haunts not only Israel but
the entire Middle East and ultimately all the rest of us as well. The United
States and, I believe, all the Western nations have an overriding interest in
containing the threat posed by Iran.
.
(3)In the 2006 State
of the Union address, President George W. Bush stated, The Iranian
government is defying the world with its nuclear ambitions, and the nations of
the world must not permit the Iranian regime to gain nuclear weapons. America
will continue to rally the world to confront these threats.
.
(4)In February 2009,
President Barack Obama committed to developing a strategy to use all
elements of American power to prevent Iran from developing a nuclear
weapon
.
(5)The Islamic
Republic of Iran is a major threat to the national security interests of the
United States, exemplified not only by its nuclear program but also by its
material assistance to armed groups in Iraq and Afghanistan, to the Palestinian
group Hamas, to the Lebanese group Hezbollah, and to other extremists that seek
to undermine regional stability. Those relationships provide the Iranian regime
with potential asymmetric delivery capabilities for nuclear or other
unconventional weapons.
(6)The Islamic
Republic of Iran’s growing inventory of ballistic missiles and other
destabilizing types of conventional weapons provides the Iranian regime the
capabilities to enhance its projection of power throughout the region and to
undermine the national security interests of the United States and its friends
and allies.
(7)If the Islamic
Republic of Iran achieved a nuclear weapons capability, it would, among other
things—
(A)likely lead to
the proliferation of nuclear weapons throughout the region, where several
states have already indicated interest in nuclear programs, and would
dramatically undercut 60 years of efforts by the United States to stop the
spread of nuclear weapons;
(B)greatly increase
the threat of nuclear terrorism;
(C)significantly
expand the Islamic Republic of Iran’s destabilizing and malign influence in the
region;
(D)insulate the
Iranian regime from international pressure, giving it wider scope to oppress
its citizens and to pursue aggression regionally and globally;
(E)embolden all
terrorist groups supported by the Islamic Republic of Iran, including Hamas and
Hezbollah; and
(F)directly threaten
several friends and allies of the United States, especially Israel, whose very
right to exist has been denied successively by every leader of the Islamic
Republic of Iran, and which the President of Iran, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, says
should be wiped off the map
