Referred to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs.
This non‑binding House resolution calls on the United Kingdom, France, and Germany (the E3) to invoke the UN Security Council 'snapback' mechanism in UNSCR 2231 to restore UN sanctions on Iran before the resolution's mechanism expires on October 18, 2025. It condemns Iran for alleged violations of the JCPOA and UNSCR 2231, criticizes Russia and China for supporting Iran, reaffirms U.S. rights to prevent Iranian nuclear acquisition, and supports robust sanctions and enforcement against Iran's nuclear and missile programs.
Progressives stress diplomacy and humanitarian safeguards; conservatives prioritize immediate sanctions enforcement.

Progressives stress diplomacy and humanitarian safeguards; conservatives prioritize immediate sanctions enforcement.
Mainstream progressives would generally support preventing nuclear proliferation and holding Iran accountable for violations.
However, they would worry this push for snapback prioritizes punitive sanctions over renewed diplomacy, risks harming civilians, and could complicate IAEA monitoring and multilateral engagement.
They would likely prefer parallel diplomatic efforts, humanitarian safeguards, and clear oversight.
A moderate view sees the resolution as a measured, multilateral avenue to enforce nonproliferation commitments while relying on E3 leadership.
Centrists will emphasize careful timing, allied coordination, and assessment of legal and practical effects at the UN Security Council.
They will be attentive to possible escalation and to ensuring actions are paired with clear goals and contingency plans.
Mainstream conservatives will strongly favor this resolution as a firm, enforceable response to Iran’s alleged violations and a means to restore sanctions swiftly.
They will view snapback as an appropriate tool to punish malign Iranian behavior, constrain missile programs, and deter proxy activity.
They may also push for additional U.S. measures if allies delay.
