 Plain-English summary Congressional Research Service

Expresses deep concern that the Islamic Republic of Iran may be attempting to acquire a nuclear weapons capability, in violation of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons and its International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Safeguards Agreement.

Calls on: (1) the President, the United Nations Security Council, and other countries to urge Iran to accept an additional, safeguard-strengthening agreement that gives the IAEA greater access in Iran to assure against the presence of undeclared facilities or the diversion of materials or technologies from safeguarded facilities; and (2) Iran to demonstrate its commitment to the Treaty and to peace and stability in the Middle East by accepting such an agreement.
