Designed to undermine the implementation of the 7/14 nuclear deal between Iran and the P5+1, this resolution recognized the legitimacy of state and local/municipal legislation targeting Iran’s sponsorship of terrorism and human rights violations, including divesting from persons or entities doing business in Iran. It also affirmed Congress’s commitment to deter illicit Iranian activities.
