The organization United Against Nuclear Iran (UANI) held a session at the U.S. Capitol on May 8, 2025, featuring the display of a Shahed-136 drone manufactured by the Islamic Republic of Iran. This drone, reportedly downed in Ukraine, was presented as evidence of Tehran's military threat and its support for Russia. During the congressional meeting, several Republican senators, including Ted Cruz and Lindsey Graham, criticized the Obama administration's Iran nuclear policy, arguing that the previous deal legitimized Iran's nuclear program. Cruz stated that former President Trump seeks the complete dismantlement of all Iranian centrifuges, emphasizing that the only verifiable agreement is one that eliminates all enrichment capabilities. Graham echoed this stance, demanding that Iran dismantle its uranium enrichment immediately. The session underscored calls for tougher sanctions on Iran and its role as a key backer of Russia, with U.S. officials highlighting the risks posed by even limited uranium enrichment in providing Tehran a pathway to nuclear weapons.

“To the Iranian regime: you claim all you want is a peaceful nuclear power program. You can have it, but you cannot enrich and you must dismantle,” said @LindseyGrahamSC. “And you must dismantle now.” https://t.co/8sstoepPBs
