The resolution emphasizes the necessity of fully dismantling Iran’s nuclear weapons program, strengthening deterrence, and establishing Congressional oversight. “Deterrence against Iran's nuclear ambitions requires leveraging our regional partnerships and affirming Congress’s critical oversight role, especially regarding the authorization of force,” said Congressman Baumgartner. “This resolution sets a firm strategic foundation for America's enduring leadership and security commitments in the Middle East." This week, President Trump is embarking on a critical visit to the Middle East, a region marked by both significant opportunities and substantial risks. As the U.S. seeks to strengthen its partnerships throughout the Gulf, it is essential to recognize that American leadership must be built on sustained, strategic engagement, not isolated agreements or unrealistic expectations of sweeping deals.

ICYMI: Baumgartner penned an op-ed in the National Review published on May 5, 2025, teasing H.Res 398, and argues that U.S. leadership in the Middle East can’t be built on one-off deals or delusions of grand bargains. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-07T00:49:36Z |
