U.S. Senators Todd Young and Pete Ricketts have introduced a resolution urging European countries Germany, France, and the UK to reimpose sanctions on Iran. These sanctions would target those involved in Iran's nuclear and missile activities with measures such as export controls, travel bans, and asset freezes.

Senator Young stated, “Iran’s pursuit of nuclear weapons threatens not only the stability of the Middle East but also the safety of the entire world.” He emphasized that it is crucial for European allies to convey that "the international community will not tolerate the dangerous actions of the Iranian regime or those who enable it.”

The resolution has garnered support from several other senators including John Barrasso, Marsha Blackburn, Shelley Moore Capito, John Cornyn, Mike Crapo, Ted Cruz, Deb Fischer, Bill Hagerty, Jim Justice, Cynthia Lummis, Tim Sheehy, and Dan Sullivan.

In addition to this Senate initiative, a similar resolution was introduced in the House by Representatives Claudia Tenney and Josh Gottheimer.
