The resolution includes important rules of construction, clarifying that it does not prevent the United States from defending itself, its Armed Forces, diplomatic facilities, or allied states from imminent attack . It also ensures that the United States Armed Forces can maintain a troop presence in the region for defensive purposes and that intelligence, counterintelligence, or investigative activities related to threats from Iran are not disrupted. Furthermore, consistent with section 8(a)(1) of the War Powers Resolution, this concurrent resolution explicitly states that it may not be construed as authorizing the use of military force against Iran.
