In the U.S. Congress made a resolution to use military force against Iran

The Congress of the United States

In the United States Congress introduced a resolution to permit the President to use military force against the Islamic Republic of Iran in case if she tries to get nuclear weapons. The text of the document posted on the Congress website.

It States that “the United States must do whatever is necessary to ensure the impossibility of obtaining nuclear weapons by Iran”. It is noted that “this commitment will continue to destabilize the region” and “represents a threat not only to US, but also for their allies.”

As a result, the American President has the right to use armed force against Iran to prevent them obtaining nuclear weapons, if deemed necessary. Resolution introduced by Democrat Alcee Hastings, one of the most consistent opponents of the nuclear deal with Iran.

Trump during election campaign repeatedly criticized the deal on the Iranian atom, and promised to review it. In Tehran, however, said that he has no right to withdraw from agreements already reached.

December 15, 2016 United States for 10 years have extended the law on sanctions against Iran. In Washington said that it will not affect the deal on the nuclear issue. Speech in the document goes about the introduction of personal sanctions against persons involved in the development of Iran’s ballistic missiles, support of terrorism and perpetrators of human rights violations.

December 3, foreign Minister of the Islamic Republic Mohammad Javad Zarif said Iran will stop implementing the agreement on the nuclear issue if the United States will extend the sanctions.

Iran and the six international mediators (US, Russia, China, Britain, France, Germany) in mid-July 2015 reached agreement on Tehran’s nuclear program. The Islamic Republic has pledged to transform the Fordow plant in the technology center, and the reactor in Arak to rebuild in accordance with the international consortium, spent fuel from it will be exported outside the country. Tehran also promised not to enrich uranium above the threshold at 3.67% and to limit its volume is 300 pounds for a period of 15 years.
