HR 1662: Trump, President Donald J.; recognize leadership; commend the courage and professionalism of the United States Armed Forces

This is a House resolution, a formal statement of the chamber's opinion that does not change Georgia law. It responds to a described military operation on February 28, 2026 in which a U.S. and allied strike killed Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran's Supreme Leader, along with other regime officials. The resolution recognizes President Trump's leadership in authorizing the operation, commends the courage and professionalism of the United States Armed Forces, and acknowledges the human rights abuses Iranians suffered under Khamenei's rule. It expresses hope for greater freedom and self-determination for the Iranian people and directs the Clerk of the House to distribute copies of the resolution to the public and press. It carries no funding, penalties, or enforceable legal requirements.

• Formally recognizes President Donald J. Trump's leadership in authorizing a described military strike against Iranian regime targets.
• Commends the courage and professionalism of members of the United States Armed Forces for their role in the operation.
• Acknowledges alleged human rights abuses committed by the Iranian regime under Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's rule.
• Expresses the House's support for the Iranian people's aspiration for a government that respects human rights and the rule of law.
• Directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to distribute copies of the resolution to the public and press.

This resolution mainly affects how the Georgia House of Representatives records its official opinion; it does not create legal obligations. It references active duty service members, veterans, and military families living in Georgia, as well as the Iranian people and regime described in the text.

Because it is a resolution rather than a bill, it does not change any Georgia law, create funding, or impose requirements. Its practical effect is limited to putting the House's stated opinion about the strike and its aftermath on the public record and distributing it to the press.

• The whereas clauses describe a February 28, 2026 strike that killed Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and other Iranian officials and detail alleged abuses under his rule.
• The first resolving clause recognizes President Trump's leadership in confronting the Iranian regime and authorizing the operation.
• A further resolving clause commends the United States Armed Forces for their service and sacrifice.
• A further resolving clause expresses hope that the end of Khamenei's rule will lead to greater freedom for Iranians.
• A further resolving clause expresses support for the Iranian people's self-determination and human rights.
• The final clause directs the Clerk of the House to make copies available to the public and press.
