There are two Iran-related bills that will come up for a vote on the House floor today:

H.R. 885 – International Nuclear Fuel for Peace and Nonproliferation Act of 2007 (Rep. Lantos – Foreign Affairs).

H.Con.Res. 21 – Calling on the United Nations Security Council to charge Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad with violating the 1948 Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide and the United Nations Charter because of his calls for the destruction of the State of Israel (Rep. Rothman – Foreign Affairs)

UPDATE:
H.R. 885 was passed/agreed to in House on June 20: On motion to suspend the rules and pass the bill, as amended Agreed to by voice vote. Representative Tom Lantos (D-CA), the bill’s sponsor, stated that it would “call Iran’s bluff” on its nuclear program. According to Lantos, “If Tehran is true to its word, it would welcome the chance to secure a stable supply of nuclear fuel and halt its enrichment activities.” In spite of Lantos’ comments, Iran would not be eligible to participate in such a program.

The House of Representatives overwhelmingly passed H.Con.Res. 21 on June 20 urging the UN Security Council to charge Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad with violating the 1948 Genocide Convention and the UN Charter by a vote of 411 to 2.
