I passed a resolution with Foreign Affairs Committee Chair McCaul declaring it U.S. policy that Iran will never obtain a nuclear weapon.
Ensure Iran never obtains a nuclear weapon.
Occurrences
Unless the agreement is changed to actually close and permanently block Iran's path to nuclear weapons, I will vote against it.
Evidence
The IAEA board adopted a resolution demanding Iran grant access to nuclear sites, fully cooperate with inspectors, and account for its near-weapons-grade uranium stockpile.
A confidential IAEA report said inspectors still could not access key Iranian nuclear facilities and could not verify the stockpile, its location, or whether enrichment had ceased.
AP reported that U.S.-Iran hostilities and peace talks remained stalled, with the U.S. still insisting Iran give up enriched uranium stockpiles and Iran refusing under pressure.
Assessments
The available evidence shows Iran’s nuclear status remains contested and unverified: the IAEA still lacks access to key sites, cannot verify the stockpile or whether enrichment stopped, and international pressure and talks remain ongoing. That means there is no confirmed end state showing Iran has been definitively prevented from obtaining a nuclear weapon. Because Schneider is still in federal office and the underlying outcome is still live rather than conclusively achieved or failed, this is best scored as unresolved, not delivered. There is also no candidate-specific evidence here of a serious legislative or executive push sufficient to warrant an effort badge.
