  • Enacted
This concurrent resolution mandates the President to withdraw United States Armed Forces from hostilities against the Islamic Republic of Iran within 30 days of February 28, 2026. Citing section 5(c) of the War Powers Resolution , it emphasizes that Congress has the sole power to declare war and has not provided specific statutory authorization for military engagement with Iran, despite U.S. forces being introduced into hostilities on that date. The resolution acknowledges Iran as a leading state sponsor of terrorism and an adversary posing threats through its ballistic missile program, proxy forces, and pursuit of nuclear weapons. It explicitly states that this directive does not prevent the U.S. from defending itself, its forces, or allies from imminent attack, nor does it preclude maintaining a defensive troop presence in the region. Furthermore, it clarifies that the resolution does not authorize the use of military force against Iran and will not disrupt intelligence or counterintelligence activities related to threats emanating from the country.
