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 provides explicit authorization through a declaration of war or a specific authorization for the use of military force against Iran. However, the resolution includes several important rules of construction. It clarifies that this directive does not prevent the United States from engaging in self-defense against imminent attack, maintaining a defensive troop presence in the region, or removing forces not actively engaged in hostilities. Furthermore, it explicitly states that the resolution does not disrupt intelligence activities related to threats from Iran or authorize any use of military force.
