This concurrent resolution mandates the President to withdraw United States Armed Forces from any hostilities against Iran, its government, or military, including ground forces in combat or occupation roles. This directive is issued pursuant to section 5(c) of the War Powers Resolution and applies unless Congress explicitly authorizes such military action through a declaration of war or specific authorization for use of military force. However, the resolution includes several important rules of construction. It clarifies that nothing in the resolution prevents the United States from engaging in self-defense against imminent attacks on its forces, diplomatic facilities, or allied states. Furthermore, it does not preclude maintaining a defensive troop presence in the region or force the removal of forces not actively engaged in hostilities against Iran. Additionally, the resolution ensures that it does not disrupt intelligence, counterintelligence, or investigative activities related to threats in or emanating from Iran, including the collection, analysis, and sharing of intelligence with coalition partners when deemed appropriate by the President. Consistent with the War Powers Resolution, this concurrent resolution explicitly states that it does not serve as an authorization for the use of military force against Iran.
