  • that any nuclear deal with Iran reached by the Biden administration without congressional approval or Senate ratification as a treaty is illegitimate;
  • to take every legislative opportunity to overturn such an agreement;
  • to restore every single sanction, restrictive measure, designation, waiver, or general license the Biden administration removes; and

Bill 117 H.Res. 990 is a resolution introduced in the US Congress that opposes engaging Russia in any efforts to revive the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) with Iran. The JCPOA is a nuclear agreement between Iran and several world powers, including the US, aimed at limiting Iran's nuclear program in exchange for sanctions relief.

The resolution also opposes the removal of terrorism sanctions on Iran while Iran's support of terrorist activities remains unchanged. This is a significant point of contention, as Iran has been accused of supporting terrorist groups in the region.

Additionally, the resolution opposes restoring any form of the JCPOA while the issue of Iran's undeclared nuclear activities remains unresolved. This highlights concerns about Iran's compliance with the nuclear agreement and the potential for Iran to develop nuclear weapons. Overall, Bill 117 H.Res. 990 takes a strong stance against engaging with Russia on the JCPOA, lifting terrorism sanctions on Iran, and restoring the nuclear agreement without addressing key issues related to Iran's nuclear activities and support for terrorism.
