Directing the President, pursuant to section 5(c) of the War Powers Resolution, to remove United States Armed Forces from hostilities with Iran.
Summary
This concurrent resolution directs the President to remove United States Armed Forces from hostilities against Iran or its government and military, including ground forces engaged in combat or occupation roles, unless Congress explicitly authorizes such military operations through a declaration of war or specific authorization for use of military force. The resolution includes exceptions that preserve the United States' ability to defend itself, its armed forces, diplomatic facilities, and allied states from imminent attack, and allow for defensive troop presence in the region. The resolution does not prevent intelligence, counterintelligence, or investigative activities relating to Iranian threats or prevent the removal of U.S. Armed Forces not engaged in hostilities with Iran. The resolution is not itself an authorization for the use of military force.
