This concurrent resolution directs the President to remove United States Armed Forces from hostilities against the Islamic Republic of Iran, its government, or military. This action is mandated pursuant to section 5(c) of the War Powers Resolution , unless Congress explicitly authorizes such engagement through a declaration of war or a specific authorization for the use of military force. The resolution includes several important rules of construction, clarifying that it does not prevent the United States from defending itself, its Armed Forces, or allies from imminent attack, nor does it preclude maintaining a defensive troop presence in the region. Furthermore, it ensures that intelligence, counterintelligence, or investigative activities related to threats from Iran, including collection, analysis, and sharing with coalition partners, remain unaffected. Crucially, the resolution explicitly states that it does not authorize the use of military force against Iran.
