A resolution emphasizing the urgency of responding to attacks in Israel and the greater region from the Islamic Republic of Iran and its proxies, and for other purposes.

SRES 462 is a non-binding Senate resolution passed on November 14, 2023, expressing support for U.S. efforts to deter Iran and its proxies (like Hamas, Hezbollah, and the IRGC) from escalating violence in the Middle East following Hamas' October 7, 2023, attack on Israel. It urges the President to maintain military deterrence, recognizes Israel's right to self-defense, encourages the safe release of Hamas-held hostages, and supports diplomatic talks between Saudi Arabia and Israel to normalize relations. The resolution does not create new laws or policies but formally endorses existing U.S. actions, including military positioning and strikes against Iran-linked groups. It directly addresses U.S. foreign policy toward Iran and its proxies, emphasizing regional security concerns.
