Our amendment makes clear what is implicit in Senator Kaine's resolution already, and that is that Terminating the use of US Armed forces against Iran does not affect the ability of the United States to defend itself, to share intelligence with Israel or our other partner nations, or to assist them in taking defensive measures to protect themselves from an attack by Iran or its proxies. Our intent in this amendment is to make it crystal clear that calling up and passing this resolution would in no way restrict the United States ability to defend itself or our partners. (07:43–08:03)
