This bill, known as the "No Funds for Iran War Act," seeks to limit the use of federal resources for military action against Iran. It prohibits the use of appropriated funds for any military force in or against Iran from its enactment until December 31, 2026, unless Congress has either declared war or provided specific statutory authorization. The legislation includes exceptions for defensive actions, allowing the use of force consistent with section 2(c) of the War Powers Resolution. This also applies to actions deemed necessary to defend the United States or an ally or partner from imminent attack . Crucially, even when these exceptions apply, the President must fully comply with the reporting requirements of section 5(b) of the War Powers Resolution. This ensures continued Congressional oversight over any military engagement with Iran.
