FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda The resolution, introduced by Representative Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, the chairwoman of the Foreign Affairs Committee, has 314 sponsors. The House did not immediately vote on the resolution, rolling over debate until Wednesday.
The resolution claims that Iran is a state sponsor of terrorism that seeks to build nuclear weapons.
The resolution also “strongly supports the United States policy to prevent the government of Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapons capability, rejects any United States policy that would rely on efforts to contain a nuclear weapons-capable Iran; and urges the president to reaffirm the unacceptability of an Iran with nuclear-weapons capability and opposition to any policy that would rely on containment as an option in response to the Iranian nuclear threat.”
President Obama has in recent months made explicit his opposition to “containment” and his preference for “prevention.”
Americans for Peace Now has urged Congress members in a letter to amend the resolution to make explicit that it did not authorize use of force to stop Iran’s nuclear energy program.
The United States, Israel, and some of their allies accuse Iran of pursuing military objectives in its nuclear energy program, with Washington and Tel Aviv using this pretext to threaten Iran with a military option.
Refuting their charges, Tehran argues that as a committed member of the International Atomic Energy Agency and a signatory to the Non-Proliferation Treaty it is entitled to all peaceful applications of the nuclear energy.
Iran has also vowed a crushing response to any military strike against its nuclear facilities, warning that any such measure would lead to a major war that will spread beyond the Middle East region.
