HRES 559 United States House · 118th Congress

Declaring it is the policy of the United States that a nuclear Islamic Republic of Iran is not acceptable.

HRES 559 is a non-binding House resolution declaring U.S. policy that a nuclear-armed Iran is unacceptable. It states the U.S. must prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons under any circumstances, use all means necessary to stop this, and support allies like Israel in doing so. The resolution does not create new laws or programs but formally expresses congressional position on Iran's nuclear program. It directly affects U.S. foreign policy direction and diplomatic messaging, not specific individuals or groups.
