Summary

This joint resolution mandates the President to remove United States Armed Forces from any hostilities within or against Iran. This directive applies unless Congress has explicitly authorized such engagement through a declaration of war or a specific authorization for the use of military force, thereby reasserting Congress's constitutional authority over war powers.

However, the resolution includes a rule of construction clarifying that it does not prevent the United States from defending against attacks on its personnel or facilities. It also permits intelligence sharing and providing defensive materiel support to allies, such as Israel, against retaliatory attacks from Iran or its proxies.
