Europeans and GOP Increase Pressure on Iran's Nuclear Program

Republican lawmakers Sen. Tim Scott and Rep. Mike Lawler are urging the Biden administration to censure Iran at the next IAEA meeting and take steps to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. They introduced a resolution calling for the issue to be referred to the U.N. Security Council and for sanctions on Iran's nuclear and missile programs. The resolution emphasizes the need for a coordinated international response to Iran's nuclear activities, which have intensified since the collapse of the 2015 nuclear deal. Critics argue that the Biden administration's strategy has failed to contain Iran's nuclear ambitions.
