A Senate resolution is the Senate speaking for itself: stating a position, honouring someone, or setting its own rules. Adopting it is the whole process. Once the Senate agrees to it, it is officially the Senate's word; it is not a law, so the House and the President have no part in it.
What this bill would do
This resolution affirms that the Islamic Republic of Iran's pursuit of nuclear weapons capability poses a credible threat to the United States. It further states that such pursuit is an existential threat to Israel and other Middle Eastern allies and partners. The Senate asserts that all options should be considered to address this nuclear threat. Additionally, the resolution demands that Iran immediately cease activities that threaten the national security of the United States and its allies. This includes stopping uranium enrichment and the development of nuclear warheads or delivery vehicles. Finally, the text clarifies that it does not authorize the use of military force or the introduction of United States Armed Forces into hostilities.
