American senators’ bipartisan plan to form an anti-Iranian task force

According to Fars International News Agency, Bob Menendez, the Democratic Chairman of the US Senate Foreign Relations Committee, and Lindsey Graham, the Republican Senator, presented a proposal on Tuesday (July 19) that requires the government of this country to provide regular and accurate reports on the situation. Iran’s nuclear program is to Congress.

According to the “Jewish Insider” website, this law, if approved, can give the US Congress the possibility to participate more in designing and dictating Washington’s policy towards Iran.

According to this report, this bipartisan plan asks the US Secretary of State to form a task force consisting of officials from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, the Ministry of Energy, and the CIA to deal with Iran’s nuclear program.

According to this Zionist media, “every 120 days, this working group submits a report to Congress on the status of Iran’s nuclear program, which includes detailed details of uranium enrichment and nuclear material accumulation, weapons manufacturing, missile development, and other potential related activities and threats to U.S. citizens and personnel create it.

Under the anti-Iranian bill, the task force would be required to submit an immediate report to Congress within 72 hours of any significant progress in Iran’s “nuclear weapons capabilities” or delivery systems. According to Joyesh Insider, the US government must also present an annual strategy that is “a comprehensive plan for engagement with partners and allies regarding Iran’s nuclear and missile activities and a whole-of-government approach to use relevant political, economic, and security tools to address It includes Iran’s nuclear program.

The bill states that parts of the report on Iran that contain unclassified material must be made available to the public on the website of the US State Department. The bill also states that it is the opinion of Congress that “all possible steps should be taken by the United States to ensure that the Islamic Republic of Iran does not develop a nuclear weapons capability.”

In a statement about his anti-Iranian plan, the influential Republican Senator Graham claimed: “The best way for American leaders to make the right judgment about Iran is to have the latest and most reliable information available.” Our law also requires the government to cooperate with regional allies such as Israel. No matter what happens in Iran’s nuclear negotiations, we must monitor its nuclear program like a hawk.”

Menendez, by making accusations against Iran, emphasized the need of the US Congress for comprehensive information about Iran’s nuclear program. He claimed: “With Iran’s unrelenting support for terrorism, its superior missile programs, and its defiance in the face of international criticism, there is no reason why the US Congress should not have the most up-to-date information on Iran’s nuclear and ballistic missile activities or the administration’s diplomatic efforts to counter the threats.” do not receive due to them”.

According to Joeish Insider, the two lawmakers have collaborated on Iran issues many times during the Biden era: In March 2021, Menendez and Graham wrote a letter calling for a more comprehensive agreement with Iran that would address all of Iran’s nuclear and non-nuclear activities. They also subsequently proposed an agreement that would create a regional nuclear fuel bank to allow Iran and other West Asian countries to use nuclear power but prevent them from enriching domestically.

Western countries, led by the United States and the Zionist regime, have accused Iran of pursuing military goals in the country’s nuclear program in recent years. Iran has strongly denied these claims. Iran emphasizes that as one of the signatories of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and a member of the International Atomic Energy Agency, it has the right to access nuclear technology for peaceful purposes. In addition, IAEA inspectors have visited Iran’s nuclear facilities many times but have never found any evidence that the country’s peaceful nuclear energy program has been diverted towards military purposes.
