Summary

This concurrent resolution, invoking section 5(c) of the War Powers Resolution, directs the President to remove United States Armed Forces from hostilities against Iran, its government, or military. This includes prohibiting the use of ground forces in combat or occupation roles unless Congress explicitly authorizes such action through a declaration of war or a specific Authorization for Use of Military Force against Iran.

However, the resolution includes important caveats, stating it does not prevent the United States from engaging in self-defense against imminent attacks on its forces, diplomatic facilities, or allies. It also clarifies that it does not mandate the removal of U.S. forces maintaining a defensive presence in the region or those not actively engaged in hostilities against Iran. Furthermore, the resolution explicitly states that it does not disrupt intelligence activities concerning Iran or authorize any new use of military force.
