HR1662: HR1662 Trump, President Donald J.; recognize leadership; commend the courage and professionalism of the United States Armed Forces

This is a House resolution, a statement of the chamber's position rather than a change to Georgia law. It recognizes President Donald J. Trump's leadership as Commander in Chief in confronting Iran, and it commends the courage and professionalism of the United States Armed Forces. The resolution references a February 28, 2026 strike that it says killed Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and other senior officials. It describes decades of alleged human rights abuses under his rule and expresses hope that his death opens the door to more freedom for the Iranian people. It closes by directing the Clerk of the House to distribute copies of the resolution to the public and the press.

• Formally recognizes President Donald J. Trump's leadership in authorizing military action against the Iranian regime.
• Commends the bravery and professionalism of United States Armed Forces members and thanks them for their service.
• Acknowledges the reported killing of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in a February 28, 2026 military strike and describes his rule as authoritarian.
• Expresses the House's support for the Iranian people's aspiration for freedom and self-determination.
• Directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to distribute copies of the resolution to the public and the press.

This resolution mainly makes a symbolic statement; it does not regulate any group under Georgia law. It references United States Armed Forces members, Georgia veterans and military families, and the Iranian people and regime as subjects of praise, criticism, or solidarity.

Because this is a resolution rather than a bill, it creates no new law, funding, or enforcement in Georgia. Its main effect is a public record of the Georgia House's political position on a foreign military strike and its distribution to the press.

• The preamble describes a February 28, 2026 strike that reportedly killed Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and other senior Iranian officials during a coordinated US and allied operation.
• The first resolving clause recognizes President Trump's leadership in confronting the Iranian regime and authorizing the action.
• A further resolving clause commends the United States Armed Forces for their bravery and professionalism.
• A further resolving clause acknowledges alleged suffering of the Iranian people under authoritarian rule and expresses hope for greater freedom.
• A further resolving clause expresses support for the Iranian people's pursuit of self-determination and human rights.
• The final clause directs the Clerk of the House to make copies available to the public and the press.
