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 Senate resolution honors the various groups involved in Operation Midnight Hammer. The operation involved B-2 Spirit stealth bombers flying from Whiteman Air Force Base to drop massive ordnance on nuclear facilities in Iran. It also included support from a United States submarine using Tomahawk land attack cruise missiles against surface infrastructure. The resolution notes that the mission targeted the Fordow Fuel Enrichment Plant, Natanz Pilot Fuel Enrichment Plant, and Isfahan Nuclear Technology Center. Finally, the resolution commends the bravery and expertise of the service members and recognizes the sacrifices made by their families.
