SJRES 106 United States Senate · 118th Congress

A joint resolution to authorize the use of United States Armed Forces against the Islamic Republic of Iran for threatening the national security of the United States through the development of nuclear weapons.

SJRES 106 is a joint resolution that would authorize the U.S. President to use military force against Iran if Iran is developing nuclear weapons or possesses weapons-grade nuclear material. The resolution specifies two conditions for military action: if Iran is in the process of possessing a nuclear weapon, or if Iran possesses uranium enriched to weapons-grade level, a nuclear warhead, or a delivery vehicle capable of carrying a nuclear weapon. This resolution is based on congressional concerns about Iran's nuclear program, including its enrichment of uranium to 83.7% (just short of weapons-grade 90%) and its failure to fully cooperate with international inspectors. If passed, this resolution would serve as a specific statutory authorization for military action under the War Powers Resolution.
