            (1) On May 22, 2015, the President signed into law the Iran 
        Nuclear Agreement Review Act of 2015 (Public Law 114-17), a 
        bill that passed the United States Congress with broad 
        bipartisan support, continuing the robust role the Congress has 
        played in oversight of the United States policy of preventing 
        Iran from becoming a nuclear weapon state.
            (2) On July 14, 2015, the United States, France, Germany, 
        the United Kingdom, the People's Republic of China and the 
        Russian Federation, with the High Representative of the 
        European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, and 
        Iran announced the completion of a Joint Comprehensive Plan of 
        Action (JCPOA), specifying steps to be taken by Iran related to 
        its nuclear program.

SEC. 3. STATEMENT OF POLICY ON DETERRENCE.

    It is the policy of the United States--
            (1) that Iran does not have an inherent right to uranium 
        enrichment;
            (2) to deter Iran from destabilizing regional activity and 
        support for and acts of terrorism; and
            (3) that all of the options available to the United States, 
        including the military option, remain available to prevent Iran 
        from achieving a nuclear weapons capability.

        necessary and appropriate measures, including providing 
        offensive security assistance and applicable ordnance and 
        delivery systems, to enhance Israel's qualitative military 
        edge, effectively deter conventional and nuclear threats from 
        Iran, and counter non-peaceful nuclear activities by Iran.
            (2) Deployment.--Pursuant to consultations between the 
        Governments of Israel and the United States, the President may, 
        consistent with United States treaty obligations, transfer to

    (b) Foreign Military Financing.--
            (1) Finding.--Congress finds that the Memorandum of 
        Understanding between the United States and Israel setting 
        annual foreign military financing levels for Israel is set to 
        conclude at the end of fiscal year 2018, and the terms of its

        period.

            (1) Finding.--Congress finds that the United States and 
        Israel have an established record of unprecedented military and 
        intelligence cooperation, most recently furthered by the United 
        States-Israel Strategic Partnership Act of 2014 (Public Law

        of the United States.

        passage of the qualifying legislation shall not be in order.
    (e) Consideration in the Senate.--
            (1) Committee referral.--Qualifying legislation introduced 
        in the Senate shall be referred to the Committee on Foreign 
        Relations.
            (2) Reporting and discharge.--If the Committee on Foreign 
        Relations has not reported such qualifying legislation within 
        10 session days after the date of referral of such legislation, 
        that committee shall be discharged from further consideration 
        of such legislation and the qualifying legislation shall be 
        placed on the appropriate calendar.
            (3) Proceeding to consideration.--Notwithstanding Rule XXII 
        of the Standing Rules of the Senate, it is in order at any time 
        after the committee authorized to consider qualifying 
        legislation reports it to the Senate or has been discharged 
        from its consideration (even though a previous motion to the 
        same effect has been disagreed to) to move to proceed to the 
        consideration of qualifying legislation, and all points of 
        order against qualifying legislation (and against consideration 
        of the qualifying legislation) are waived. The motion to 
        proceed is not debatable and shall be subject to a 60-vote 
        affirmative threshold for adoption. The motion is not subject 
        to a motion to postpone. A motion to reconsider the vote by 
        which the motion is agreed to or disagreed to shall not be in 
        order. If a motion to proceed to the consideration of the 
        qualifying legislation is agreed to, the qualifying legislation 
        shall remain the unfinished business until disposed of.
            (4) Debate.--Debate on qualifying legislation, and on all

        limited to not more than 10 hours, which shall be divided 
        equally between the Majority and Minority Leaders or their 
        designees. A motion to further limit debate is in order and not 
        debatable. An amendment to, or a motion to postpone, or a 
        motion to proceed to the consideration of other business, or a 
        motion to recommit the qualifying legislation is not in order.
            (5) Vote on passage.--The vote on passage shall occur 
        immediately following the conclusion of the debate on the 
        qualifying legislation and a single quorum call at the 
        conclusion of the debate, if requested in accordance with the 
        rules of the Senate.
            (6) Rulings of the chair on procedure.--Appeals from the 
        decisions of the Chair relating to the application of the rules 
        of the Senate, as the case may be, to the procedure relating to 
        qualifying legislation shall be decided without debate.
            (7) Consideration of veto messages.--Debate in the Senate 
        of any veto message with respect to qualifying legislation, 
        including all debatable motions and appeals in connection with 
        such qualifying legislation, shall be limited to 10 hours, to 
        be equally divided between, and controlled by, the majority 
        leader and the Minority Leader or their designees.
    (f) Rules Relating to Senate and House of Representatives.--
            (1) Coordination with action by other house.--If, before 
        the passage by one House of qualifying legislation of that 
        House, that House receives qualifying legislation from the 
        other House, then the following procedures shall apply:
                    (A) The qualifying legislation of the other House 
                shall not be referred to a committee.
                    (B) With respect to qualifying legislation of the 
                House receiving the legislation--
                            (i) the procedure in that House shall be 
                        the same as if no qualifying legislation had 
                        been received from the other House; but
                            (ii) the vote on passage shall be on the 
                        qualifying legislation of the other House.
            (2) Treatment of a bill of other house.--If one House fails 
        to introduce qualifying legislation under this section, the 
        qualifying legislation of the other House shall be entitled to 
        expedited floor procedures under this section.
            (3) Treatment of companion measures.--If, following passage 
        of the qualifying legislation in the Senate, the Senate then 
        receives a companion measure from the House of Representatives, 
        the companion measure shall not be debatable.
            (4) Application to revenue measures.--The provisions of 
        this subsection shall not apply in the House of Representatives 
        to qualifying legislation which is a revenue measure.

        given that term in section 14 of the Iran Sanctions Act of 1996

SEC. 10. STATEMENTS OF POLICY.

    It shall be the policy of the United States, in interpreting the 
Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), and any other related 
agreement, that--
            (1) no sanctions relief for Iran is to be provided pursuant 
        to the JCPOA until Iran completes all activities as set forth 
        in paragraphs 2, 4, 5, and 6 of the Roadmap for Clarification 
        of Past and Present Outstanding Issues regarding Iran's Nuclear 
        Program, signed at Vienna July 14, 2015, between the 
        International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and Iran, and the 
        completion of such activities is verified by the IAEA in a 
        regular update by the Director General of the IAEA;
            (2) any action by the Government of Iran to treat the 
        legitimate imposition of sanctions by the United States or its 
        international partners based on support for terrorism, abuses 
        of human rights, or Iran's ballistic or cruise missile 
        activities as grounds to cease performing on its commitments 
        under the JCPOA in whole or in part would not be valid and 
        would be inconsistent with the terms of the JCPOA; and
            (3) in the event that sanctions on Iran are re-imposed 
        consistent with the JCPOA, such sanctions would not 
        retroactively apply to activities, including activities under 
        contractual arrangements, legitimately entered into prior to 
        the re-imposition of sanctions, but sanctions may apply to 
        activities, including activities under contractual arrangements 
        entered into prior to the re-imposition of sanctions, to the 
        extent such activities continue beyond the date of the re-
        imposition of sanctions.

SEC. 11. REPORTS ON IRANIAN RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT AND BREAKOUT 
              TIMES.

    Section 135(d) of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 is amended by

                nuclear weapon;
                    ``(B) an assessment of the period of time it would 
                take Iran to acquire the nuclear material to produce 
                one nuclear weapon; and
                    ``(C) an assessment of the capacity and capability 
                of the IAEA to effectively implement the verification 
                regime required by the JCPOA, including whether the 
                IAEA is receiving sufficient access to investigate 
                suspicious sites or allegations of covert nuclear-
                related activities and whether it has the required 
                funding, manpower, and authorities to undertake the 
                verification regime required by the JCPOA.''.

        sanctions in a calibrated manner as appropriate in the event 
        Iran violates the JCPOA incrementally.
