This concurrent resolution mandates that the President remove United States Armed Forces from hostilities against the Islamic Republic of Iran, or any part of its government or military, in accordance with section 5(c) of the War Powers Resolution . This directive applies unless Congress has explicitly authorized such military action through a declaration of war or a specific authorization for the use of military force against Iran. Crucially, the resolution includes several important rules of construction. It clarifies that it does not prevent the United States from defending itself, its Armed Forces, diplomatic facilities, or allied states from imminent attack , nor does it preclude maintaining a defensive troop presence in the region. Additionally, it ensures that forces not engaged in hostilities against Iran are not forced to withdraw and explicitly states that the resolution itself does not authorize the use of military force or disrupt intelligence-gathering activities related to Iran.
