But Iran remains a top terrorist sponsor and a serious threat to the U.S., our troops, and to stability in the Middle East. This resolution sends a clear message: we must keep pressure on Iran to ensure the end of its nuclear program and regional aggression. Vigilance and strength are still critical.\u201d - Rep. Michael Baumgartner\n\n\"President Trump's decisive actions dealt a critical blow to Iran's nuclear weapons program and reaffirmed America's commitment to our allies. This resolution sends a clear message: the United States will not tolerate nuclear blackmail, terrorism, or aggression by the Iranian regime. We stand with Israel in its right to self-defense and with our Armed Forces who carried out Operation Midnight Hammer with extraordinary precision.\n\nFor too long, policies of appeasement\u2014including the Obama administration's JCPOA and the Biden administration's reversal of Maximum Pressure\u2014gave Iran cover to enrich uranium and expand terror networks. President Trump is restoring American credibility by holding Tehran accountable and reestablishing deterrence.\" - Rep. Augest Pfluger, Chairman of the Republican Study Committee\n\n\u201cUnder President Trump\u2019s leadership, the U.S. military sent a clear message: we will not tolerate threats to our allies or our homeland. I\u2019m proud to introduce this resolution with my Republican Study Committee colleagues to support the president\u2019s strong actions to stand firmly with Israel and protect American service members, diplomats, and families from escalating violence.\u201d - Rep. Zach Nunn\n\nThe resolution highlights critical concerns, including:\n\nIran\u2019s ongoing aggression through missile and drone attacks on Israel and U.S. forces;\n\nStrategic cooperation between Iran, Russia, and China that bolsters Iran\u2019s military and nuclear ambitions;\n\nIran\u2019s support for proxy groups responsible for attacks against American and allied interests;\n\nThe brutal October 7, 2023, Hamas massacre enabled by Iranian support;\n\nExplicit threats by Iranian leaders to destroy Israel and carry out nuclear strikes;\n\nThe failure of previous diplomatic efforts under the Obama and Biden administrations that emboldened Iran\u2019s nuclear program; and\n\nThe successful June 21, 2025, U.S. military strike on Iranian nuclear facilities, which significantly degraded the regime\u2019s nuclear capabilities.\n\nThe resolution commends President Trump and the U.S. Armed Forces for Operation Midnight Hammer, recognizing their decisive action to disrupt Iran\u2019s nuclear infrastructure and restore critical regional deterrence.\n\nIt calls for continued support of Israel\u2019s missile defense systems\u2014including Iron Dome and David\u2019s Sling\u2014and urges renewed diplomatic efforts backed by firm pressure to bring Iran to the negotiating table.\n\nThe bill is also co-sponsored by Reps. Mike Lawler (NY-17), and Maria Elvira Salazar (FL-27).", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-07T01:08:28Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://baumgartner.house.gov/media/press-releases/baumgartner-pfluger-nunn-champion-resolution-end-irans-nuclear-threat-and"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.0904320515692234, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
