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

S. Res. 81 is a resolution calling on the United Kingdom, France, and Germany (E3) to use the "snapback" mechanism to restore United Nations sanctions on Iran. The resolution states that Iran has repeatedly violated its commitments under the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) and UN Security Council Resolution 2231. It highlights Iran's increased uranium enrichment and the threat of it acquiring nuclear weapons. The Senate aims to deter further proliferation and protect global security. The resolution urges this action to happen before the snapback option expires on October 18, 2025.
