Summary

This concurrent resolution directs the President to remove United States Armed Forces from hostilities with Iran pursuant to the War Powers Resolution, unless Congress explicitly authorizes military force through a declaration of war or a specific authorization for use of military force against Iran. The resolution includes exceptions that preserve the authority to defend U.S. personnel and facilities from imminent attack, maintain defensive troop presence in the region, and conduct operations against armed forces not engaged in hostilities with Iran. The resolution does not affect intelligence sharing, counterintelligence operations, or investigative activities related to Iran or threats emanating from the region. The resolution clarifies that it does not itself authorize the use of military force. If adopted, the resolution would require the President to cease military hostilities against Iran unless Congress provides explicit authorization.
