This concurrent resolution invokes section 5(c) of the War Powers Resolution to direct the President to withdraw United States Armed Forces from hostilities against the Islamic Republic of Iran. It emphasizes that Congress holds the sole constitutional power to declare war and has not issued such a declaration or specific statutory authorization for military actions in Iran. The resolution explicitly mandates the termination of the use of U.S. forces in hostilities against Iran or its government/military, unless Congress provides explicit authorization through a declaration of war or a specific Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF). However, it includes a crucial rule of construction clarifying that nothing in the resolution prevents the United States from defending itself against an imminent attack . Furthermore, the resolution specifies that it does not disrupt intelligence activities related to Iran nor does it authorize any use of military force.
