Condemning the Islamic Republic of Iran (also known as Iran) for constructing a facility to enrich uranium with potential for developing a program for the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, and for its support of global terrorism.
Calls on: (1) the Government of Iran to comply with its obligations under the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC), verify its compliance under the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, sign the Model Additional Protocol of the International Atomic Energy Agency which would allow inspectors freer access to nuclear sites, and immediately and unconditionally halt support for terrorism; (2) the President to set a new direction, incorporating all available nonproliferation tools, to redirect Iranian efforts away from nuclear weapons; and (3) United Nations members to join the United States in preventing the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, and reaffirm their commitment to fighting all forms of terrorism.
