This concurrent resolution, citing section 5(c) of the War Powers Resolution , directs the President to terminate the use of United States Armed Forces in hostilities against the Islamic Republic of Iran. This directive applies unless such actions are explicitly authorized by a declaration of war or a specific authorization for the use of military force against Iran. Crucially, the resolution includes caveats, stating it does not prevent the U.S. from defending itself , its forces, diplomatic facilities, or allies from imminent attack, nor does it preclude maintaining a defensive troop presence in the region. It also clarifies that it does not force the removal of forces not engaged in hostilities against Iran. Additionally, the resolution ensures it will not disrupt intelligence activities related to threats from Iran, including collection, analysis, or sharing with coalition partners. Consistent with the War Powers Resolution, it explicitly states that nothing in this resolution should be construed as authorizing the use of military force.
