This concurrent resolution, submitted pursuant to section 5(c) of the War Powers Resolution, directs the President to remove United States Armed Forces from hostilities against the Islamic Republic of Iran. This directive mandates the removal of forces, including potential ground forces in a combat or occupation role, unless such military action is explicitly authorized by a declaration of war or a specific authorization for the use of military force against Iran. The resolution includes important caveats, clarifying that it does not prevent the United States from defending itself, its Armed Forces, or allied states from imminent attack, nor does it preclude maintaining a defensive troop presence in the region. Furthermore, it explicitly states that it does not authorize the use of military force and will not disrupt intelligence, counterintelligence, or investigative activities related to threats from Iran or surrounding countries, provided such sharing is deemed appropriate and in the national security interests of the United States.
