This concurrent resolution directs the President to remove United States Armed Forces from hostilities against the Islamic Republic of Iran. It specifically invokes section 5(c) of the War Powers Resolution , asserting Congress's authority to mandate the withdrawal of forces engaged in unauthorized conflicts. An exception is made for forces required to defend the United States or an ally or partner from imminent attack , but only if the President fully complies with the reporting requirements of section 5(b) of the War Powers Resolution. This directive remains in effect unless Congress provides an explicit declaration of war or a specific authorization for the use of military force against Iran, thereby reasserting congressional oversight over military engagements.
