H. Res. 495 (Introduced in House) — Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives regarding the prevention of Iran from obtaining or developing nuclear weapons.

That it is the sense of the House of Representatives that—

(1)

the JCPOA is a key international nonproliferation achievement that has effectively guarded against Iran developing nuclear weapons and is vital to maintaining and protecting the national security of the United States;

(2)

the United States should resume its obligations under the JCPOA, fully reimplement its commitments under the agreement, utilize multilateral and bilateral diplomacy to achieve political solutions to remaining challenges with Iran, and use the JCPOA as a foundation from which to build follow-on agreements;

(3)

the remaining P5+1 partners are encouraged to use the JCPOA conflict mitigation mechanisms to address any compliance challenges with Iran or other parties to the agreement;

(4)

the Government of Iran is encouraged to ensure compliance with its obligations under the JCPOA, as Iranian compliance is essential to the prospect of United States re-entry and any future agreements; and

(5)

the Trump administration should immediately establish and utilize diplomatic and military deconfliction channels with Iran to prevent miscalculations and defuse tensions as they arise.
