GOP lawmakers turn up pressure on Biden over Iran nuclear program: 'Enough is enough'

FIRST ON FOX: Republican lawmakers Sen. Tim Scott and Rep. Mike Lawler are pressing the Biden administration to censure Iran at the next International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) meeting due to its heightened nuclear activities and guarantee that steps are taken to thwart Iran's acquisition of nuclear weapons.

On Monday afternoon, the pair will introduce a resolution that would also "refer the issue to the U.N. Security Council, and reaffirm that all measures will be taken to prevent the regime in Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons."

"In the 18 months since the IAEA last held Iran accountable, the regime’s destabilizing behavior has skyrocketed. Its terrorist proxies have attacked our troops, brought global commerce to a halt, and ignited the brutal conflict in Gaza," Scott said. "Last month, Iran stepped out from the shadows to attack Israel directly, and all the while, the regime has steadily increased its nuclear buildup."

The IAEA seeks to promote "the peaceful use of nuclear energy and to inhibit its use for any military purpose, including nuclear weapons," according to its website.

The resolution, which was first shared with Fox News Digital, says the U.S. should commit to preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons and urges the Biden administration to pursue punitive measures for Iran's violations of international non-proliferation agreements.

It condemns Iran's obstruction of monitoring and verification activities by the IAEA and calls for sanctions on Iran's nuclear and missile programs.

"Iran is the greatest state sponsor of terror in the world and there is no greater national security threat than a nuclear Iran,"
