A resolution expressing the sense of the Senate on steps the Government of Iran must take before President Obama meets with the President of Iran.

This resolution would express that Pres. Obama should not meet with Iran’s Pres. Hassan Ruhani unless the government of Iran affirms the right of Israel to exist as a Jewish state and immediately releases any prisoners of conscience in Iran.

It was introduced on the same day that Obama and Ruhani spoke before the UN General Assembly. Prior to the speeches, some media outlets had reported that Obama was hoping to meet with Ruhani to discuss U.S.-Iran relations. The two heads of state spoke by telephone on 9/27/13.
