This concurrent resolution mandates the President to remove United States Armed Forces from hostilities with the Islamic Republic of Iran , or any part of its government or military, pursuant to section 5(c) of the War Powers Resolution. This directive applies unless Congress has explicitly authorized such military action through a formal declaration of war or a specific authorization for the use of military force against Iran. The resolution includes important rules of construction to clarify its scope. It explicitly states that it does not prevent the United States from defending itself or its allies from imminent attack , nor does it preclude maintaining a defensive troop presence in the region or removing forces not engaged in hostilities against Iran. Furthermore, the resolution ensures that it will not disrupt intelligence, counterintelligence, or investigative activities related to threats from Iran, including the collection, analysis, and sharing of intelligence with coalition partners. Finally, it clarifies that the resolution itself does not constitute an authorization for the use of military force.
